Ingredients
  

Soufflé

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound peeled and sliced fresh carrots To save time use a 16-ounce bag of baby carrots.
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar or a little less than 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons flour To make this soufflé gluten-free substitute the flour with a 1-to-1 gluten free substitute like Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Baking
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract or 1/2 tablespoon grated orange zest optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup pecans and/or walnut pieces
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  • Place the carrots and sweet potato slices in a medium pan and add just enough water to cover them. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain the water.
  • Add the cooked carrots and sweet potatoes, melted butter, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and orange extracts, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to the blender and blend until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
  • To make the topping, mix the nut topping ingredients in a bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the soufflé and bake for another 5-10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Notes

The nut topping can be substituted for powdered sugar. Sprinkle the powdered sugar onto the top of the soufflé after it's been removed from the oven.
