Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Carrots
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside.
Peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Place the carrots in a large pot of boiling water and cook until they are soft and tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl or food processor, blend the cooked carrots until smooth and creamy.
Add the butter to the carrots while they are still warm, allowing it to melt. Mix until incorporated.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat well until the mixture is light and smooth.
Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
