I was going to suggest looking on the scan bran thread l.... Although In my experience all the cakes I've made have an underlying taste of scan bran. Disgusting things!

I hated them the first time I tried them too! Last week I bought a pack to give them a second go and have been hooked ever since!! I love them :drool:

I eat them just as they are, straight out of the packet. Or for a sweet treat I top them with cadbury philly and a sliced banana or strawberries.

Have heard there is a recipe for a lovely Curly Wurly Scan Bran cake on the Slimming World website but haven't tried that yet. Also, what about using them in the Fererro Rocher recipe, instead of Ryvita? A girl from my group just uses them to bulk things out. For example, she will grate a Scan Bran into her porridge on a morning - it just bulks it out and helps to keep you fuller for longer.

There is allsorts you could try, they are really quite versatile.

I think the cakes taste awful. If you have it "as is" with a topping it's really not too bad. The first time I had it I thought the texture was weird, but after 2-3 times I got hooked and now I have 2-3 scan bran a day, with Philadelphia or choc Philadelphia on top, or I blitz salmon trimmings with quark for a dip or other similar combinations. As long as you drink plenty of water with them they really fill you up and flush you through, they really boost my loses and can tell the dofference when I run out!

I've tried them as is hate hate hate them .... I am not gonna eat something I don't like just for a loss don't see the point .... I've tried them and they are not for me so will stick to ryvita and crackerbreads instead

How about making this than?..........

Pete’s Ferrero Rocher-2

Syns 19 in total/24 made <1 Syn each

Ingredients
5 scan bran=5 Syn
3 tbsp. of nutella=12 Syn
1 Pack of Options (Belgium Chocolate)=2 Syn
Warm water

Method

Place the scan bran into a food blender and reduce to small pieces.

Place 3 level tbsp. of nutella into a microwave proof dish and microwave for 30 secs (600w), remove and add up to 3tbsp of warm water as required to make a paste.
Add the scan bran and mix until the liquid has been totally absorbed.

Put a small dish with boiling water next to your work area and place the cake cases out.

Using a small spoon/grapefruit spoon, place first in hot water then scoop the mixture into a cake case, repeat this until all the mix has gone remembering to place the spoon into hot water each time.

Place on a tray and place into the fridge to chill. When cold remove from the fridge and roll in the contents of a packet of “options” Belgium chocolate! Rechill if required.

Enjoy and remember total syns are 19 and I made 24 of them! Less than 1 Syn each.

Thankfully the carrot cake ... Which was awful ..... Got rid of the scan bran so I can now get back to food that tastes less like cardboard :/

i think i want to try out scan bran - i think the little ferrero rocher are a good idea but i have a small problem in that i am allergic to nuts so nutella is out.

Can anyone recommend a replacement? Would normal choclate spread be ok? Im not normally a fan of choc spread but i think i could use it and then add some choc chips (synned) to make it taste more like actual chocolate?? this would probably make them up to about 2 syns each which is ok for me.....i can have a couple with a cuppa if they taste ok?!?!

Seems like people are divided on them lol

Thank Jezzi. I'm getting some choc Philly anyway to try the scan bran choc cake (im going to use it as topping) so I'll give it a whirl with the ferrero rocher too and see how it turns out x

 

[sparty]

pretty happy with the result. I just used regular chocolate spread instead of nutella and rolled them in Belgian choc options. (think I will skip this out next time as it dried it out a bit more than necessary)

They are only little but I think having 5 with a cuppa is a good use of syns!

Gonna try the curly wurly cake next topped with choc Philly I think.
