Scan Bran Recipe Thread

Here's my go at the scan bran fruit tea loaf - loved it!!!!


SPICED FRUIT SCAN BRAN TEA CAKE
-------------------------------------
5 scan bran
large cup of strong black tea ( brew 2 teabags for about 10 mins)
28g dried mixed fruit (4 syns)
2 beaten eggs,
half teaspoon baking powder,
5 tablespoons sweetner,
2 tablespoons mixed spice.

Soak your scan bran and dried fruit in the tea for about 15 to 20 mins then drain the extra liquid mix in the other ingredients then put into moulds and bake for about 25 mins. I made it in a loaf tin and as it was 9 syns for the lot I cut it into 9 making it easy to syn at 1 each. So, if not using it as heb then your scan bran is 5 syns

I've just made my first scan bran cake, yay! I made it with the Caribbean coconut options (2 sachets) which was nice. I think I may have overcooked it slightly in the microwave as it was a little bit dry. Maybe I didn't soak the scan bran in enough water. Any ideas on how to make it more moist?

It was very nice though and ever so filling! I'm completely stuffed now xx

Pete’s Carrot & Ginger Scan Bran cake (2013)

(Based on a SW recipe. 8 ½ syns for the whole cake)

Serves 8

Ingredients

1 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 Carrots, finely grated (s) (sff)
2 tsp Ground ginger
3 Fresh eggs (ff)
5 Scan bran (1 Heb)
5 tbsp. Sweetener
25g Stem ginger, finely chopped

Method

Break the scan bran into pieces, place in a mixing bowl, pour boiling water over them, and allow soaking for 1 minute, Mash together then draining any excess water.
Blend the scan bran with the carrot, sweetener, ginger, allspice, cinnamon & stem ginger.
Break the eggs into 2 bowls, separating the whites, add the yokes to the mix, whisk the whites until it forms peaks, and carefully fold into the mix with gentle actions so as not to lose the air in them.
Place into a microwave proof dish (I used a 23cm silicon one). Microwave for 15 mins (600w microwave) adjust time to suit wattage of microwave, cook until a metal skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake, remove from the cooking dish, place on a rack & allow to cool.
Cut into 8 pieces, making each slice, just over 1 syn each.

choc & orange scanbran cake

5 scanbran soak hot water, drain & mash
3 eggs
3 tbls cocoa (or 1 cocoa & 1 serving of choc orange options)
7 tbsp sweetener
tspn ish orange extract (I got this from sainsbos in the baking bit, but it has no oil in like the orange essence does in the smaller generic flavour bottles so from what I can see its syn free??)

mix it all together (like any other scan bran cake) and pour in a silicone loaf tin. nuke in the microwave for about 4 to 4.5 mins.

I got some lemon flavour quark from sainsbos too (but plain would be just as good) added sweetener & some more orange extract

3 syns for the whole cake if using scanbran as HEXB, 8 syns for the lot if not

It really is blimmin lovely ! xx

sounds nice!!

Do these cakes turn out better from the oven or microwave? going to give this one a go but saw about doing in oven also?

[QUOTE=Jess
I've only ever done mine in the micro so not sure about the oven hun, if you use the micro you will have to adjust the cooking time according to your wattage that's all xxx

 

[Jess<3]

Mmm? possibly, I usually set mine at 3.5 mins first....then check it every 20 seconds. I take it out when the centre top is ever so slightly sticky as it keeps cooking as its cooling down....I've found adding some yogurt to the mix (as in the cherry bakewell one makes them extra moist, just experimented today with a choc & strawberry yog....smells pretty good but got to taste it yet lol!) xx
