Oh No.. not another scan bran recipe!

But bear with me - a healthy B choice, plus a decent whack of superfree, plus three syns for the lot (or 8 syns if not using the SB as your B choice!).

Ingredients

5 Scan Bran or 5 oat bran
2 eggs
80g cooked plain beetroot (not pickled though lol!)
3 level tablespoons of cocoa powder
5 heaped dessert spoons of sweetener
Frylight

Method

Boil the kettle and break up the scan/oat bran and cover in boiling water to soften.

While that is doing put the eggs, cocoa powder, sweetener and beetroot into the food processor and blend to a puree (beetroot doesn't have syns when pureed remember as it is a veg!).

Drain scan/oat bran off and add to the processor and blend again.

Spray a microwavable dish liberally with frylight and pour the mixture in which will look a deep pinky purple colour.

Microwave on high for about 8 minutes. Eat with a spoon.



Personally I prefer this done with Oat Bran, but then I prefer all SB recipes made with oat bran!

I can really recommend this recipe, thanks joclairey

Me too - sound gorgeous!

It looks absolutely delicious! Something to put on the TO TRY list! Thanks for this xx

Definitely going to make this for my choc-obsessed sister! She's also doing SW and lost 6.5lbs in her first week! She deserves a (syn free) treat x

I wish I had a sister that made me lovely treats!

Quick question!!! I don't have a microwave (shock horror) do you think it'll work in the oven THX

I've cooked scan bran cake in the oven before even though the recipe says to microwave it, so you should be ok - it will just take longer

Cooks fine in the oven, I'd say about 25-30 mins on 180. Just make sure it's not squidgy in the middle

Stupid question from moi, do I have to buy a 'real dirty' lol beetroot and cook it? Or can you buy ready made beetroot minus vinegar? 'has never bought a real beetroot :0

I bought it ready cooked, you can get them most super markets or veg shops

Thanks x
