Description

This Carrot Cake Chia Pudding with Cottage Cheese is a nutritious and delicious twist on traditional chia pudding. Combining the creamy texture of blended low-fat cottage cheese with the natural sweetness of grated carrots and warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger, this pudding offers a balanced and satisfying breakfast or snack. Topped with Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, and chopped walnuts, it delivers both flavor and added texture while remaining a wholesome and easy-to-prepare dish.

Ingredients

Main Pudding Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oat milk
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (blended)
  • 4 tbsp finely grated carrot
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1/3 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • Walnuts or almonds, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the oat milk, blended low-fat cottage cheese, finely grated carrot, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger powder, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. Refrigerate Mixture: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquids and form a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Assemble the Pudding: After chilling, evenly divide the pudding into two serving glasses. Top each portion with Greek yogurt, then drizzle with the maple syrup, and generously sprinkle with chopped walnuts or almonds for added crunch.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the chia puddings immediately for the best texture, or cover and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Blending the cottage cheese ensures a smooth texture in the pudding.
  • Add the chia seeds last and mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
  • Adjust maple syrup amount based on desired sweetness.
  • Use any nut of choice for topping, or omit if allergic.
  • Letting the pudding chill overnight improves flavor and texture.
