Autumn Carrots

When you need a colorful side dish that has a slight sweetness to it but don't have time to wait for sweet potatoes to cook, try taking a few fresh carrots and slice them up.  Steam them with a little water in the microwave or on the stovetop with a little sprinkling of this:


Topping Mix 

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons date sugar
1 tablespoon roasted sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

This is the same sprinkling mix I use for oatmeal so it is always mixed up and ready to go.  Don't use this entire recipe for one bowl of carrots, just a couple of spoonfuls of the mixture will do.
