Ingredients to make Carrot and Walnut Pudding:

1. 1 small carrot
2. 10 nuts
3. 1 orange
4. 1 egg
5. ½ cup of water (120 milliliters)
6. ⅓ cup of sugar (66 grams)
7. ⅓ cup of oil
8. 1¼ cups flour 0000
9. 1 dessert spoon of baking powder
10. ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

How to make Carrot and Walnut Pudding:

• The first step in making carrot walnut pudding is to beat the room temperature egg until frothy and just beginning to change color. At this time, you should add the pinch of salt and suga in the form of rain. After about 5 minutes of beating, add the oil in the form of a thread while you continue beating until fully integrated.
• When they are integrated, season the preparation of your pudding with the orange zest. On the other hand, squeeze it to get its juice and measure it in the cup that you will use to calculate the flour. You should complete half a cup of liquid. If orange juice is not enough, complete with water, milk or yogurt. Add the liquid to the smoothie and set aside.
• Prepare the dry ingredients for your recipe. On one side, mix a tablespoon of the flour with the slightly broken nuts with your hands. For another, mix the rest of the flour with the baking powder and the baking soda. Also, add the flour to the smoothie with the help of a sieve or fine strainer to avoid lumps. Integrate it with enveloping movements.
• Tip: if you wish, you can add whole wheat flour and make an exquisite carrot pudding with whole wheat flour.
• When you have integrated the flour, add the peeled and grated carrot with a fine grater, along with the nuts that you previously mixed with the flour. This will cause them to be dispersed throughout the pudding, rather than settling to the bottom. Next, integrate with enveloping movements, without overbeating and correcting the humidity, if necessary, with more juice or water.
• Pour the preparation of your healthy carrot pudding into the mold where you want to cook it. In this case, it is a 24 x 9 x 6 cm mold that must be previously greased and floured. Also, cook it in the preheated oven at 180 ºC for about 25 minutes or until, when pierced, no remains of the preparation come out.
• When the healthy carrot pudding is cold, you can unmold it and decorate it to taste. Now yes, enjoy this delicious and moist carrot and walnut pudding.
