Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 1 quart capacity) using butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the peeled and chopped carrots, and cook for 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water completely.
Transfer the cooked carrots to a food processor or blender. Puree the carrots until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Fold the carrot puree into the egg mixture. Stir gently until the mixture is fully incorporated and has a uniform consistency.
Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the carrot puff from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
