- 1 tsp Baking Powder

Notes
- For the steamed pureed carrots you can do one of two things. Either puree 1 cup of sliced or diced steamed carrots in a food processor until smooth, adding enough water to make them "baby food" consistency. OR just use a 4 oz container of baby food carrots.
- The nutritional information does not include the syrup as amounts or kinds used my vary.
