Gluten Free Carrot Souffle

Teresa Ambra

2013 – Gluten Free Living

Gluten Free Carrot Souffle is such a wonderful side dish. It’s terrific for holidays throughout the year. I love this wonderful recipe. This time I made a gluten free version which is absolutely superb. Gluten Free Carrot Souffle is a lusciously sweet side dish with a hint of cinnamon that’s just incredibly good. Souffles are awesome and this one is no exception.

I’ve made this recipe so many times over the past few years. Even people who don’t care for carrots love this way to eat them. If you taste a bite initially you may not even realize they’re carrots. You may think sweet potatoes, butternut squash or something like that. But, no, it’s carrots in this amazing recipe.

We had a bunch of company over a couple of weeks ago and I was trying to come up with several different casseroles and side dishes to serve that would all be different yet tasty. I made a spinach dish, a cherry tomato dish, a potato dish, an onion dish, and someone else brought a squash dish and salad. I thought I would try my hand at Gluten Free Carrot Souffle since one of our attendees did not like beans of any kind.

It turned out very well. One of our guests even told us that Carrot Souffle is his favorite side dish! This is certainly a southern-style dish. I’d never heard of it when we lived in the northern parts of the country.

Gluten Free Carrot Souffle or Carrot Souffle are so good you will want to put each one on your holiday baking list. Don’t be afraid to give this recipe a try. It’s almost like eating dessert! Yum, yum, yum.

I initially posted this recipe in October 2013. Back in those days the only GF flour available was Pamelas. It’s really NOT my preferred gluten free flour. Now, almost six years later, there are so many better quality GF varieties available. I used Pillsbury GF flour for this recipe. My favorite GF flour for any kind of GF dessert is Cup4Cup.

I remade the recipe (May 2019) for our Friday night care group. I served it with a scrumptious and EASY Chicken Pot Pie. I ate several pieces of this delectable side dish. It was so scrumptious. Gluten Free Carrot Souffle is perfect for the Thanksgiving holidays. But it’s also fantastic for holidays like Easter, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. We usually serve it for company because it’s elegant and so delicious. It’s great as a “mystery” casserole. Make your guests guess what the ingredients are. Most of the time they are wrong until you tell them. (Wink, wink).

Boil carrots until tender. Even though these carrots are slim matchstix, it still took about 30 minutes before they were completely tender!

    I made this tonight and I’m curious what the texture should be like as mine was quite soft on the inside. The top was firm and golden so I thought it was done but maybe I should have cooked it longer? I baked it for 1 hour as directed.

      Hi, Jennifer. It should be somewhat soft on the inside. Perhaps your oven is a little slower than mine and it could have been baked a little longer. Unless it was gooey on the inside, it was baked long enough.

    Hello & happy holidays! I am considering making this for Christmas dinner, but we need to drive be about an hour to get to where we need to go. Do not think I will have an oven there to cook then, so if I cook at home, how well will this travel? If it cools, how to reheat? Thank you!

    1. Teresa

      December 21, 2020 at 7:24 am

      Hi, Syndie. I would probably bake it and see if you can’t wrap it in some of those special food carriers that keep things warm. Depending on how hot it still is, you may need to reheat it only 5-10 minutes. I would not sprinkle any powdered sugar over top until the last reheat. This is such a delightful side dish. Enjoy.
