    Yummy!! I’m always looking for healthy easy breakfast recipes. Can’t wait to try these, but need to get baby food carrots (no babies here). Thanks for the recipe!

      You can make your own baby food puree carrots. Just cook them and blend them smooth with your blender or food processor or beaters like mashed potatoes. Easy and more healthy too.
