I used to make carrot steamed bread as baby food for my eldest daughter when she was young. I was using pancake mix everyday but now I use cake flour to save money. The photo shows the ones with soy milk and brown sugar.

In Step 4, make sure the kitchen towel (to prevent water dripping onto the bread) is tightly wrung or it will touch the bread. For those using a gas range, pay extra attention. If you are using shallow ramekins, I suggest using a steamer rack (available at 100 yen shops). Using ramekins works best and helps the bread to expand fully.
I made them less sweet so adjust to taste.
It would be great if you could let me what way you decide to make these. Recipe by Genkimaria

In ramekins, insert aluminum cups and then paper cups inside those, then pour in the liquid. Place the ramekins in the pot (the water should come 1/3 of the way up the pot, less than half of ramekins. Make sure water does not get into ramekins when it boils). Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and put chopsticks on top and cover with a lid. Steam on high heat for 15 minutes.
