Thread: ◄ 1½ Minute Microwave Oatbran Biscuit ►

I forgot my oat ran today (well I remembered to take my ginger dukan bread with me - but it got soggy in my sandwich box and wasn't appealing). So... I've just made a lovely cookie using skimmed milk and a sprinkle of goji berries in top to make it more of a treat. It's a cinnamon flavour and I'm just waiting for it to cool. Yummmmmmmmmy!!!

Did you add any sweetener, you will find that it makes a big difference.

After really looking forward to my cookie I was disappointed. I had added sweetener and I wish I hadn't as all I could taste was the Splenda despite the lovely cinnamon smell. The good news is I no longer crave anything sweet! The diet might actually be working!

Oh my!!!
Cup of tea and 2 mini biscuits- one ginger, one cinnamon.
Made my life.
Thank you so so much! xxx

I have stopped using Splenda as I didn't like the aftertaste, I am now using Canderel instead.

Glad that you like them , I haven't made them for ages, I think I may make one later.

hi iltry making these 2moro how
many syns r they plz

these look fantastic, and quick and easy too. i'm torn between trying this recipe or making 'duffins' tomorrow... so many new things to try!

ok, first attempt was a bit of a soggy mess! i added too much yoghurt - i see now it's supposed to be half the amt of bran. will try again sometime as i did taste good! i used a bit of cinnamon and vanilla flavoring. might also use my non-stick spray on the plate, as it was tricky to turn over... but that could just be the consistency.

thought I would give it a go. Used one tablespoon oatbbran when I made fishcakes to give them some 'body' so only had tablespoon left but it made one trial biccie....used cinnamon. Wasnt sure how it would be as Im not keen on the sweetener aftertaste but the cinnamon hid that. Really nice.

I ate it whilst warm which was nice but think it will be better cold as it was going crunchier. Theres only one problem as far as I can see........I want more! ;0).

Has anyone made a batch, do they keep well in a tin or for how long? Thought I could make a working weeks worth??
Thinking of trying savoury and/or lemon.

Thanks for sharing this. Good idea for crumbling into yogurt. Im beginning to like this diet....a lot!

Made these using ginger (i am a ginger bread man addict!!) and they are nice enough, nothing will beat a good chewy ginger bread man lol. Fantastic for a quick breakfast or saving until my evening hunger and having with coffee. Thankyou

been craving a biscuit for sooo long I am defo making one of these tomorrow!!

made this lovely thank you

I've slightly altered this to use a days bran allowances, that way I can split it into two equally and use it alongside my bread.

2 tbs Oatbran

1 tbs Wheatbran

1.5 tbs Fat Free Plain Yoghurt

½ tsp Splenda or 6 drops of liquid sweetner

Sprinkling of cinammon or ginger etc (1/4 tsp Schwartz Mixed Spice works really well)


Mix all ingredients in a small bowl will look crumbly and dry.

It will look like you need to add more liquid but don't it should be ok.

Put onto a small plate and press down with the back of a spoon into the shape of a round biscuit (use a wet spoon, it will help prevent the mixture sticking to the spoon).

Microwave on high power for 1 minute, turn biscuit over (it will look delicate but should stay in shape), cook for a further 30 seconds. ( I actually needed to microwave this 1.5min on high (900w).

Eat warm which is very soft, almost rubbery or leave to cool and get a bit crunchier.

Adjust your spices and spenda to taste, some may want to add more than ½ tsp.
