¼ cup chia seeds
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 1/3 cups shredded carrot
2/3 cup fat free milk or soy milk
2 tablespoons fat free sour cream

Line muffin pan with baking paper. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, sugar, flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. 

In a separate bowl mix together carrots, milk, sour cream, and egg white. Blend together dry and wet ingredients. Fill each muffin cup a little over half full. Bake at 180 degrees C for 20 minutes.   A toothpick or fork inserted in center should come out clean when done.

 

CHICKEN ROLL-UP (Low Fat) 

 

1 cup nonfat cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons nonfat sour cream

2 tablespoons chia seeds

3 tablespoons chopped shallots

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast
1 teaspoon dried dill

4 (10 inch) low-fat flour tortillas

1 1/2 cups fresh spinach

Nonfat ranch salad dressing or salsa

 

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and chia and mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes, and mix again until smooth. Combine cheesy chia mixture with shallots and dill. Spread on tortilla. Place chicken slices on top of spread, and top with spinach leaves. Roll tortillas and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Slice into bite size pieces and drizzle with your favorite salad dressing. Great to prepare the night before and pack in lunches for the next day. If you slice about 1/2 inch thick you can serve as a pinwheels appetizer as well.
