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 IndianFalooda 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 itdoesn’tbecome athick 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 😉

    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!

FAQs

Does chia pudding contain dairy? ›

Chia Seed Pudding Ingredients

chia seeds – you can't make chia pudding without chia seeds. Feel free to use white or black chia seeds, whichever variety you have on hand. milk – I like using non-dairy options like almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk, but any type of milk will work.

Why is butter not used in carrot cake? ›

Carrot cake is oil-based, rather than butter-based. This keeps it moist and helps it last for days. Unfortunately, it also means you lose the leavening power that creaming butter and sugar would bring. (Creaming, or beating together the two ingredients on high speed, aerates the butter.)

What does chia pudding do to your gut? ›

Chia seeds are a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation and support healthy digestion. The omega-3 fatty acids and caffeic acid in chia seeds may reduce inflammation in the gut. This can alleviate symptoms of IBS, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.

Why is carrot cake unhealthy? ›

Carrot cake usually contains more saturated fat than fruit cake thanks to the frosting, which is typically made from cream cheese. The higher fat content also means it's higher in calories. Carrot cake is lower in fibre, so may not be as filling.

Why do carrots turn black in carrot cake? ›

Carrots contain pigments that are sensitive to changes in pH balance. When the shreds of carrot come into contact with the alkaline baking soda, a chemical reaction takes place that causes the pigments to change color.

What is a substitute for butter in carrots? ›

There are plenty of ways to vary glazed carrots. If you want them to be low in saturated fat, substitute vegetable oil for the butter and add only a small amount. Instead of white sugar, use brown sugar or honey.

What is chia pudding made of? ›

In a large jar or bowl, stir together the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest, if using. Chill covered for 30 minutes, then stir again, incorporating the chia seeds that have sunk to the bottom. Chill for about 6 hours, or overnight, until the chia pudding is thick.

The base ingredients for most Jell-O brand instant puddings are dairy-free as well as vegan. By using a non-dairy milk such as coconut, almond, or oat milk you keep this simple instant pudding dairy-free/ vegan.

Lactose-intolerant people aren't the only ones who need to use these substitutes. Many nutritionists and dietitians advise people to stay away from dairy altogether.
