Made a scan bran cake to use up some bits and bobs

4 x chopped bananas - I'm not going to syn these, but they would be 5 syns each if counted as mashed so 20.
8 x scan bran - 8
4 x eggs
25g raisins - 3.5
2 x tbsp golden syrup - 4
4 tbsp coffee
1 tbsp sugarfree hazelnut syrup
150ml fat free yoghurt

I syn that as 15.5 for the whole cake, and about 2 syns per thick slice.

Scan bran was soaked in hot water till soft, drained and then mashed. Added the rest of the ingredients, mixed well and poured into a silicon loaf tin. Microwave for 8 minutes till cooked through completely. Leave to cool a little and then slice. Can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.

Thanks everyone

I've just fitted my new child bike seat to the back of the bike this morning, so I can manage the school + playgroup run (opposite ends of the village and both need dropping off before 9am) in September. I've got a buggy trailer, but it's the width of a double buggy and the way that people drive/park around the schools mean it's not safe on the road and I can't fit it on the path. So I need to practise with the bike seat, 3yr old in that and 5yr old can walk/sit on my seat. Will push that to school, drop her off and then ride to the playgroup.

Off for a practise ride round the block as soon as hubby gets up from his lie-in

Breakfast - Muller greek corner (4) + scan bran cake (2)

Lunch - Butterfly chicken breast, chips and salad. Will call it 10 syns for the chunky chips.

Dinner - Had leftover curry and saag aloo.
