Ingredients

1 lb baby carrots or peeled carrots
1/4 cup water
1 stick butter
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Prep a 2 Qt baking dish with nonstick spray or butter, set aside.
Microwave or boil the carrots to soften them. To microwave them, add carrots to a microwave-safe bowl and pour in 1/4 of a cup of water. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and heat for 6 minutes.
After the cooking time is up, carefully remove the top plate with oven mitts or a dish towel and check the carrots. They should easily mash with a fork. If not, replace plate and cook for another minute or two.
Once carrots are softened, use a spoon to move them from the bowl to the food processor.
Add butter, eggs, and vanilla on top. Puree for about 10 seconds, just to mix everything up a bit.
Next add flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Puree until fully blended and smooth.
Pour mixture into the prepared 2 qt baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes, then check doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center of the dish. If the toothpick comes out clean, then soufflé is done.
If soufflé is not cooked through, heat for another 5-10 minutes.
Remove soufflé from oven and serve.

Notes

Microwaves operate differently. You might need to adjust the time for softening the carrots dependent on how fast your microwave heats them up.
