Vegan Keto Sticky Bun Chia Seed Pudding

This sticky bun chia seed pudding is out of this world!  The chia seed pudding itself tastes quite like a cinnamon roll.  Then it's topped with caramelized pecans, that honestly you could just make on their own and it would be a great snack.

Yes, you absolutely have to use erythritol (which is the main component of the sweetener that I recommend.)  You cannot use stevia as it doesn't crystalize.  You might be able to use allulose but I haven't experimented with that yet.

Are you a fan of chia seed puddings?  I photographed a ton of them that I plan on adding to my recipe book within the next couple of months.  🤣  Just be sure you drink a lot of water when you eat these.  They expand and suck up a crazy amount of moisture, so if you overdo it and go on a chia seed pudding craze like I did - you may regret it.  😭

Oh well, eating this was worth it....

I got the original idea for this recipe from IHeartEating.com. I used the cereal recipe from Ruled.Me as the base formula for making the pecans keto friendly.

Vegan Keto Roasted Bell Pepper Taco Boats

Growing up, I hated stuffed bell peppers.  Then I later realized that it's because I don't like undercooked peppers at all.  I don't mind raw peppers for dipping, or peppers that are roasted to the point of falling apart - but I hate anything in the middle.  That's why this recipe has you roast the peppers, then stuff before doing a final bake.  If you like your peppers to be crunchier, then you might want to cook them a bit less to suit your own tastes.

Vegan Keto Roasted Bell Pepper Taco Boats

prep time: 10 Mcook time: 30 Mtotal time: 40 M

ingredients:

• 2 medium bell peppers
• 20 ounces frozen cauliflower rice
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup cilantro

instructions:

How to cook Vegan Keto Roasted Bell Pepper Taco Boats

1. Turn your oven on to 400F.
2. Preheat a frying pan. While it’s heating up, defrost the cauliflower rice.
3. While the rice is defrosting, cut each pepper in half. Scoop out the seeds. Brush with melted coconut oil then roast.
4. Add 3 tablespoons of the oil to the frying pan. Stir in the cauliflower. Once it’s heated up add the taco seasoning and chopped pecans. You want to cook the rice until it’s quite crispy with texture from the seasoning. Stir in chopped cilantro.
5. Check on the bell peppers. They should be quite soft and a bit browned. Stuff each pepper with ¼ of the cauliflower rice mixture.
6. Bake the peppers for another 10-15 minutes before serving.
