A little scan bran question....

[ConfusedGirl]

I have noticed a lot of cake recipes have scan bran in them and i cannot find it anywhere so i was wondering would it be ok to use ryvita crispbread instead? Or am i just being stupid? haha

 

[IreneH]

Holland and Barrett sell them

[ConfusedGirl]

I've checked my local holland and barrat and they didnt have them

 

[IreneH]

Ah ours does, also saw them in private health shops

[ConfusedGirl]

I will have another check next time im out at the shops, thanks though

What do you think about using ryvita instead? Silly idea?

 

[IreneH]

Sorry can't help. Not on SW. What syns are ryvita? What syns are scan bran?

[ConfusedGirl]

I think scan bran is half a syn and ryvita is 1.5 syns. I was just wondering wether or not it would taste ok with ryvita cos not sure wether or not it's the same sort of stuff!

 

[IreneH]

Do they sell scan bran at classes?

[ConfusedGirl]

I don't go to a class. How much are the scan bran from Holland and Barrat?

 

[Roz V]

Also Waitrose, though they are dearer than at class. We use Scan Bran and Oat Bran a lot to make almost syn free cakes (they are interchangeable). Both are virtually 100% bran, and, although they all look similarly unappetising, I don't think Ryvita has nearly as much bran in it, so I don't think it would work.

Finn crisps are available in Sainsbury's.... would that work?

[Roz V]

Sorry I'm so slow, I got overtaken there! Our Holland and Barrett don't stock them either, and I think Waitrose were charging £1.29. They are £1 a pack of 10 half size slices (ie half the size of Ryvita) at class - HTH.

I use allbran instead of scanbran in the chocolate cake recipe and prefer the taste.cheaper too

 

[judimac]

How would you covert allbran into scanbran eye? (please)

 

[eye6769]

I use 42g as a healthy extra or 6syns, I make the chocolate brownie mix a couple of times a week,absolute life saver.

can't we just use bran? (After all - scan bran is just compacted bran isn't it?) Much cheaper and haven't got to mess around breaking it all up.

 

[ConfusedGirl]

Where can you buy all bran? I've looked in asda and tesco and i can't seem to find it! I have used bran flakes before when making the SW choc cake but it's 4.5 syns for 28g so quite high syns if you need to use loads.
