     Easy Carrot Cake Chia Pudding with roasted carrots, spices, walnuts and chia seeds.
     
    Jump to Recipe   
    You know I love Carrot Cake right. Esp when made with roasted carrots spiced up with a lot of warm spices like in this delicious Carrot Cake pancake. I used the Same awesome stuff in this Pudding.
     
    You can change up this pudding to preference, add more chia or less, omit the Oats or add more Oats or other grains. Change up the spices. andmake some today!

    I have been on the fence with Chia pudding as with most sweet breakfast pudding things including oatmeal (ps Oatmeal is not my favorite breakfast). So I assumed that I would not like chia pudding either. But then I remembered the Indian Falooda drink dessert. It is basically rose flavored thick milk which has thin noodles (rice or cellophane or starchy noodles), and soaked Sweet basil seeds suspended in it, and served with ice cream or nuts. Yes, we have been eating soaked Sweet basil also known as sacred basil or Tukmarai or Sabja seeds, in this drink for ages. They look and feel very much like chia when soaked. gah, all answers in Indian food 😉

    So as well do something with the chia right. I added less Chia to the pudding so it doesn’t become a thick jelly and we enjoyed it that way, more like the drink dessert we are accustomed to. Roast up the carrots, mix in with the seeds and liquid and let sit overnight! yum.


    Can you spot me in the reflection 😉

    Steps:
    Roast the carrots and oats with spices and maple until slightly dry. 

    Add in the liquids, and chia seeds. Let sit. 

    Serve up in small bowls or glasses.

      There is an Indian market near my sister’s apartment that sells a sweet basil soda, and I love it so much! I want to try making my own but don’t know where to get sweet basil seeds. This post has me wanting to get this question sorted and make some basil soda!
