Carob is a great [healthy] caffeine free alternative to chocolate and combines well with the deep flavors of this pudding. Adding sweet potato to this rich and filling breakfast is a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your day. Inspired by: my Sweet potato carob chip cookies and Oh She Glows
