  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  6. Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the carrot mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the souffle is puffed and golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
  10. Serve the carrot souffle warm and enjoy!
