Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb carrots peeled and cut into chunks
- salt to taste
- ½ cup melted butter plus extra for the dish
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Cook the carrots in a pot of boiling, salted water until tender. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and butter a large baking dish.
- Drain the carrots and return them to the pan along with the melted butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Using a hand blender, blitz the carrots into a smooth puree. Alternatively, do this in a food processor.
- Add the sugar and blitz again, followed by the eggs, one by one. Then, finally blend in the flour and baking powder.
- Scrape into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the soufflé golden, puffed and set in the middle.

Notes
- Adapt for the seasons! This recipe will also work with pureed squash or sweet potato in the fall.
- Use frozen carrots if you don't have fresh. These will also work in this, just adapt the cooking time accordingly!
- Use organic carrots. These tend to have a much more pronounced 'carrot' flavor so will make a better soufflé if you can find and afford them.
