Method
Place carrots and water in a microwave safe container and heat on high 4-8 minutes or until carrots are soft enough to mash. Mash and let carrots cool. Place carrots and remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until well blended. Garnish with cinnamon.
Notes: Regular peeled, sliced carrots work best in this recipe, but you can use precut baby carrots. Simply increase the time in the microwave by 1-2 minutes and add another 2 tablespoons water.
