Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give your buns a more vibrant color and better flavor.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the buns and prevent large chunks.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the buns tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the buns rise properly and become light and fluffy.
  • Bake the buns until they are golden brown: This will give them a nice crust and ensure that they are cooked through.

Golden carrot buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover carrots.
