Carrot Cake Hot Cereal (Gluten & Sugar Free, Vegan)
This is the type of recipe I would eat during an elimination diet or healthy challenge. I’m not even going to pretend this is something I make often, but if you’re looking for some new ways to get healthy foods into your diet, this is a great recipe. Likewise, this might be something to try feeding your baby once they start eating solids.
Ingredients:
4 cups diced carrots (about 6 carrots)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch sea salt
2 cups water (or less as needed)
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons coconut oil
30 drops vanilla liquid stevia (or your favorite sweetener to taste)
Directions:
- Combine carrots, coconut, cinnamon and salt in a medium pot. Add up to 2 cups of water. You want the water to just cover the carrots, so you may need to use a little more or less. Bring to a gentle boil for 15 minutes or until the carrots are easily mashed with a fork.
- Take the pot off the heat and mash the carrots. Stir in flaxseed meal, coconut oil, and stevia. Taste and add an extra pinch of salt if needed.
