Process briefly between additions. Add grated carrots and process briefly until combined. Pour the mixture into the tin or patty pans.

Yoghurt, Fruit and Granola
This is a great start to the day. Its quick and easy, but it will keep you going for may hours.
Ingredients
Stewed or tinned fruit
Your favourite yoghurt
Fodden Granola

It's all in the layers, so you get a bit of everything in each bite. Place your desired yoghurt on the bottom, add your fruit of choice (can be fresh, tinned or stewed) and then sprinkle with a generous amount of Fodden Granola in your favourite blend.
Chia Seed pudding sprinkled with granola
Chia seeds are a great wholefood treat for after dinner. Spice it up with a little crunch for something a bit of extra nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa or cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons of maple (or your favourite sweetener)
- ¼ cup of chia seeds
- Fodden Granola
Method
- Place the coconut milk, cocoa powder, maple and chia seeds in a bowl, mix these really well to make sure the cocoa is incorporated. Adjust the sweetness or the amount of cocoa if desired. Place in the fridge for around an hour or I prefer overnight to ensure these seeds soften right up.
- Serve the desired amount into a bowl and sprinkle with a generous amount of granola on top. Do this just before serving to preserve the crunch in the granola.
- Enjoy!
