Scan Bran Recipe Thread

[WelshJojo]

Took the ferrero rocher to last nights evening, went in seconds!
after talking to the staff at our centre (who are the unofficial testers) I have increased the amount of nutella to 3 level tablespoons for more flavour! This will increase the syns but still under 1 syn each......

Pete’s Ferrero Rocher

Syns 19 in total/24 made <1 Syn each
Ingredients
5 scan bran=5 Syn
3 tbsp. of nutella=12 Syn
1 tbsp. golden syrup=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 3tbsp of warm water & 1 level tbsp. of golden syrup, mix together into 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. Enjoy and remember total syns are 19 and I made 24 of them! Less than 1 Syn each.

You could even add an extra spoonful again and it would still be less than 1syn!!

Could someone tell me the recipe that has Curly Wurlys in it? Can't see it in the thread but am intrigued!!

scan bran cookies??

Could you mash up scan bran with a little water, and then bake them to make cookies? Just wondering if this would work as i'm making the carrot cake and it smells like cookies

Dont think sprinkling them with ginger and sweetener would work lol.

I'm going to get these tonight I think and give them a go

I have finely made a carrot cake that I am proud of!


Pete’s Scan Bran Carrot Cake-2


Syn free if used as a Heb

Ingredients

5 scan bran
300g/3 large size carrots
3 eggs
3 Tbsp sweetener
1tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp nutmeg
Pinch salt
3 tsp of ground ginger
Zest from 1 lemon

Method

Break the scan bran into a mixing bowl and add boiling water, a bit at a time to soften them, mash into a smooth mix.

Grate the peeled carrots, drain as much liquid out of them as possible, and then place in a towel and wring out any remaining liquid. Add to mixing bowl along with the ginger, sweetener, spices & lemon zest, mix well.

Separate the egg yolks and add to mix, beat the whites until stiff then fold into the mixture.

Preheat the oven to 200c and prepare a loaf tin, line with greaseproof paper cut to fit, reduce the heat to 180c

Place on the middle shelf for 40 mins, insert a metal skewer into the middle of the cake and when you pull it out and it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Remove from the tin and allow cooling on a wire rack.

Sounds yummy...silly question - is it a particular type of bowl you need to use to make it cook properly in the microwave, like a plastic/rubber one? Pause for laughter

 

[Auburn]

OMG I love the look of that carrot cake... Is it a 1lb loaf tin or a 2lb loaf tin?
