How to puree carrots for muffins or quick breads:
7
Steam the carrots on the stove in a steamer basket. When the carrots are fork tender place in a food processor and process until smooth. If you do not have a food processer use a blade attachment to a hand mixer or a blender. If using a blender you will have to add about 1/4 cup water to the blender then puree. This same method can be used with zucchini as well.
