This carrot souffle is a dish I first came across in a client’s home. Not just any client, my favorite one. The one who went on to become one of my closest friends. We were invited to Passover dinner and family style version of this dish was being served. That was also the night I was introduced to the world famous, delicious Toffee Matzoh Crunch. That recipe is for another day (and trust me it will have its day!), but for today we will discuss this delicious, lightly sweetened Carrot Souffle. With its rich, golden-orange hue and warm, comforting flavor, it’s a wonderful way to add a touch of festive charm to your St. Patrick’s Day or Easter table!
Steam carrots until almost fall apart tender and puree until completely smooth. Add in butter, sugar, baking powder, egg and vanilla. Add in the flour last. Continue to puree until completely combined.
Put about ¼ cup of mixute into muffin cups. I used a straight silicone mold, but any shape will do.
Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes to make removal easier.

Excellent and very easy to make. I’ve never made soufflé ever!! These were lovely!
Thanks
can you use different veggies other than carrots??
Unfortunately this recipe isn’t able to swap out using a different vegetable. Carrots have a different water content than other vegetables. Sorry
Made these tonight to go with BBQ ribs. Cut three recipe in half cause there’s just two of us, making six servings. My husband, so despises carrots, ate three and wanted more!! Delicious!!
I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it! Thanks for coming back to let me know!
Thanks for the 5 star rating!
Can u make ahead of time n warm up? Also can u use papercups in cupcake mold ?
No, you can’t make it ahead of time – it would be denser than you would like. But I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to use a cupcake mold! I hope you enjoy them!
Can I make the mixture the day before and bake the next day?
Looks good! What do you do with the butter? Is it added in with the other ingredients, or is it on the side to add upon serving?
Good catch! Thank you! It goes in with the other ingredients before the flour. I updated the recipe! 🙂
Thank you! I made these tonight (and opted to put the butter in before baking… I asked while I was prepping so I had to make a decision on the fly), and it turned out really good! It was a great way to use up some carrots. I topped with a bit of honey and ate it right out of a little ramekin (it also filled a 12-muffin tin). Definitely a keeper.
This makes me so happy to see!! Thank you for coming back and telling me how they went!
I have never tried making a carrot souffle before. You make it sound so easy!
Could I make them in a mini muffin pan? I would like to use them as an appetizer.
This sounds wonderful. I am going to have to make these and not tell the family what they are. Then watch them be thrilled at how good they are! I know they will love them.
Interesting! I never heard of carrot souffle butit looks interesting!
Sounds like an innovative way to get people to eat carrots! Haha, it certainly looks tempting!
These look tasty. I have never seen carrots used like this in a dish before. Can’t wait to try this recipe out.
Ohh, these carrot souffles look delicious! I can’t wait to try these out!
I have not heard of this. It looks awesome.
Everything is tastier when it’s tiny! I would gobble these up!
These look perfect for a get together with some of my girlfriends. We love to eat yummy food, and plenty of dessert. It’s nice to have some lighter options also.
You made something tasty that is good for you and that is simple to make? You go souffle girl!
These look really good! The fact that they are simple to make makes them perfect for me!
Thanks! They really are quite easy and so delicious!
Oh my goodness! These sound so good and it is something I haven’t ever seen before. I can’t wait to give them a try!
I hope you love them!
I was kinda sceptical at first. But, after looking at the finished product, all I can say is YUM!
Individual souffles sound good to me. I like most anything with carrots in it.
I haven’t tried a carrot souffle before. But they sound wonderful.
I had never tried it before the dinner party I went to. People actually were all eyeing the last serving of it!
These look so amazing! I’ve never had Carrot Souffles before! I want to try them now!
Thanks!
My, these do look tasty! What a great way to add more veggies into the diet!
Oh, yumm! That’d be a fun way to trick kiddos into eating some veggies too. I wonder if it’d be good with a bit of brown sugar too? I love brown sugar with carrots.
I could totally see swapping the white for brown sugar, then sprinkle some very lightly on top!
These look delicious. I know my family would enjoy these!
These would be wonderful as a side dish or appetizer. I’ll have to add the recipe to my list of things to try.
Hope you love them!
My oldest loves carrots. He has a big thing for everything made with them and these look delicious. I bet he would love these!
How lovely! And what a pretty color they turn out, too.
Thank you!
Individual serving sized foods work well in our family. Some of us just want 1 and other want 12 🙂
Those look and sounds delicious. Wonder if one would add butter or sour cream or just eat them by themselves. Hmmmm… will have to try to find out.
Yum, both sound great!
These would be perfect for me! I love my vegetables and these are too cute to pass up!
Thanks!
Yum! Ready to make this and more matzoh crunch all year round.
Both are so amazing, I would eat them all the time!
We love single serve foods in this house! It means everyone gets a taste without overeating. These would be great for entertaining, too!
They really do look impressive. I’ve used them for client dinner parties and they pair great with all types of food.
These look really good. Maybe now I will be able to get my son to eat carrots.
Yes! My toddler is so picky about carrots and ate an entire one. Usually 2 bites is a win, this was a huge victory.
These sound so good! I love these because they’re a great way to get some extra veggies into the kids.
Those are just adorable. I love that they’re individually sized, and they look delicious.
Thanks!
This sounds so good! Never even thought of making a carrot souffle. Awesome idea!
Thanks! PS, I love your blog! especially the baked chicken and rice dish you did with the chicken legs. I make it almost weekly so I can have easy lunches ready for the week when I am running around like crazy 🙂
Healthy and delicious! I’ve always been afraid to try making souffles. This sounds easy, I want to try it. Thanks for the recipe.
These are so easy, they are still creamy and soft!
