To enable templating for controller you need setup protected $templated to true. For auth acccess to controller, just change protected $guarded to true also.

use Smartcat\Caramel\Controllers\Caramel_Controller;

    /**
     * Use template
     * @var bool
     */
    protected $templated = true;

    /**
     * Use garde
     * @var bool
     */
    protected $guarded = true;

    /**
     * Controller constructor
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        /**
         * Check auth
         */
        if (! $this->garde->check()) {
            $this->template->set_flash('Auth consroller');
            redirect('/');
        }
    }

    /**
     * Index controller method
     *
     * @return CI_Output
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return $this->template->render('app');
    }

You can also use only garde or template independently.
