Warm Carrot Cake Breakfast Pudding

Posted by Lorna Macchia on

When the temperature drops I love mixing up my breakfast or brunch with a warm, nourishing option.  While porridge is a good go to, I also like to play around with varieties of  warm flax pudding as flax seeds are such a powerhouse of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, fibre and phytochemicals called lignans, and are really good for heart & gut health. I also sneak in some hemp seeds for a further boost of healthy fats and good quality protein. 

This version with the flavour of carrot cake is my current favourite, but stay tuned as I can feel a mocha pudding coming on….

Preparation Time: 5 mins | Cooking Time: 15 mins | Serves: 4 People
