These are very yummy and very moreish. However I had to laugh after my 21 year old son discovered there was carrot in the ingredients and he said "MUM - will you STOP putting vegies in sweet things!!! I much preferred it when you were doing the chocolate book"!!!!! The day before I had made a zucchini cake and had also made muffins with a squash in it! I love how we can hide vegetables when we want to – very quick and easy to disguise them thanks to our Thermomix! :)

Hi Leonie, are chia seeds a must, or is it okay to leave them out?
