Norway is not a member of the EU, but it is a member of the EEA; therefore the same freedom of movement rights apply to EEA nationals and their family as apply in other EU and EEA states. This means that you can obtain the Norwegian equivalent of a UK EEA family permit for her.

Norway is also a member of the Schengen agreement, and looking at the Norwegian immigration website it seems that you first obtain a Schengen visa for her and then once in Norway she applies for residence.

Your daughter presumably has joint nationality and so can use her EU/EEA nationality to exercise the same freedom of movements rights that you have.
