Scan Bran Recipe Thread

[SallySW]

Hi again

I just made a carrot cake and all seems good so far! (Used 5 scan bran, 2 eggs, 3 carrots, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and sweetener) Waiting for it to cool so I can do my topping. I went for quark with lemon juice and sweetener.

If I have this as my heb is it syn free?

If you eat the lot, it's your HEb
Yes, you'd need to syn the options and if you had 1/2 the cake, you could have a hifi light to make up the rest of your HEb

Not everyone splits their healthy extras but I do sometimes, especially me HEb...it prob impacts us all differently so up to you if you wanna do it

I couldn't eat the whole thing but as I say? We're all different x

i usually cut mine into 10 pieces...5 are 1/2 a HEb or 0.5 syns each.
i find it great to snack on and love it crumbled through fruit salad and yog...i always think you get a decent munch for 1/2 a HEB.

i suppose if i used some at breakfast and nibbled on it through the day i could use the whole thing...haven't tried it but i guess it's do-able lol x

Hey

Well I made another one today and had half with a cuppa. Then had a hifi light this evening as a snack. Have saved the rest of the cake for tomorrow's breakfast, will maybe do what you suggested and have with some fruit. Mine aren't rising much at all so it's not a huge amount but it's just so filling!

Thanks again xx

i pour my mixture into the tubs you get from the chinese...it just goes to about that size so doesn't rise a huge amount but i agree with you...it can be filling.
it's lovely with the fruit and yog, i crumble a few pieces in and mix it all in...doesn't look the best but it's yummy x

Here is my latest version of Ferrero Rocher, made with Belgium chocolate!


Pete’s Belgium Chocolate Ferrero Rocher (2013)

28 Syns in total /35 made under 1 Syn each

Ingredients
1 pack of Options (2 syns)
5 scan bran (5 syns)
25g Ground hazelnuts or Mixed nuts (8.3 syns)
50g Sainsbury’s cooks Belgium Chocolate 76% cocoa (12.6 syns)
Warm water
* Optional
1 tbsp. Sweetener

Method

Place the scan bran & nuts into a food blender and reduce to small pieces. Place in a glass bowl & mix, add warm water as required to make a smooth paste.

Place the chocolate into a microwave proof dish and microwave for 4 mins (600w) remove and add the scan bran and mix until the liquid has been totally absorbed.
Add the sweetener if you want a sweeter taste.
Using a ½ tsp cup measure, scoop a small portion of the mix & shape into balls.

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 28 and I made 35 of them! Under 1 Syn each.

Hi all - sorry to be thick but planning on trying the scan bran - am I right in saying that 5 pieces is the same as hexB or is it a syn a piece? Thanks!
