Fantastic gluten free version of a delicious Carrot Souffle. It uses carrots, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, eggs and butter and it's sprinkled with powdered sugar on top. Terrific for company or holiday dinners like Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day. We also like to serve it for Thanksgiving or Christmas. This "mystery" casserole is so scrumptious. No one can believe it's made with carrots!

Notes
NOTE: When I initially posted this recipe in 2013, Pamelas was the only gluten free flour available. It is NOT my preferred GF flour for ANY recipe. I used Pillsbury GF flour for this recipe. For any kind of GF dessert, I prefer Cup4Cup but even Walmart's Great Value brand gluten free flour is preferable.
