Anyway weighed in at 9 stone 10 and 3/4

Whoops!

Have had a really productive few days and feeling back on the wagon

Thanks for the chickpea dahl bake recipe that sounds great I have a tin hanging around too

Hope everyone has a great day

I've never eaten them but they turn up at tasting sessions every now and again. People who are desperate for cake say 'Oh wow and only half a syn for the whole cake' (I exaggerate but it's not much). Most people seem to think it would be more tasty to eat the wrapping paper the Scan Bran comes in.

yup that about sums it up :rotfl::rotfl:

My first ever maintain this week. Not bad considering I spent the weekend in Dublin on a stag night. I have never drunk so much in my entire life, and food-wise the plan was out the window from Friday-Monday.

Dodged a rather large bullet, but I'm absolutely buzzing at the thought of getting back into the gym tonight.

I will try a Scan Bran cake recipe and report back (don't hold your breath!). I rather suspected they may not be great, after all those Scan Bran are pretty dire.

Our consultant at group made a scan bran version of ferreo roche, she crushed them, mixed them with nutella and chilled in the fridge. My mum loved them and said they didn't taste too different. I don't like nuts so I can't give you my personal opinion.

If you google scan bran you'll find there are a few, there is a whole thread on the minimims website.

Forgot to add, the nutella has to be syned of course, but I think the consultant said each small truffle sized one was 2 syns.

I guess that's a NO then?!

Hello, I'm a lurker but I make quite a lot of cakes with scanbran. Scanbran chocolate cake is gorgeous - I fill it with cherries and quark/options filling - Black forest gateaux!!:)



CHOCOLATE BRAN CAKE

6 ½ sins on either day for the whole cake!
Ingredients

5 scan bran (healthy extra)
28g cocoa powder
1 level tbsp golden syrup
15g powdered artificial sweetener
2 eggs, beaten

Break scan bran into small pieces then sprinkle on hot water
Leave a few minutes then break up with a fork, until scan bran resembles breadcrumbs
Stir in the cocoa powder, syrup and sweetener
Mix in the beaten egg and stir well
Line a loaf tin with foil and spray with fry light (I use a greaseproof cake tin liner) Bake for 25 – 30 minutes in a pre-heated over at 190c or place in a microwavable container and microwave on high for 5 minutes

I make this cake a lot and have a method that really helps to bring out the chocolate flavour.....I have experimented a lot and this way I think makes a really nice textured cake and the flavour is enhanced...

I soak the scan bran in minimum water and then mash until soft and breadcrumby

I then immediately add the golden syrup and stir

Add the cocoa next whilst the bran is still warm and the cocoa melts into the bran which I think enhances the flavour, give a really good stir until all cocoa has melted

Then add the sweetener, again while bran is still warm, really good stir

Add the beaten eggs and stir really well.....you should now have a mixture that looks like a cake batter....

Micro for 5-6mins mins and turn out.....

This method should give you a really good textured cake.....

Delicious served with defrosted frozen cherries and an Options (2syns) stirred into half a tub of Quark – Black forest gateaux, you can have half the cake with fruit and all the filling for 5.5syn *drool*

I've got a couple of other recipes as well if you want them.

Hello

ooh new thread!!

today i tried one of the new chocolate hifi bars - is it just me or are they not fibre plus bars in disguise!?!?

also when i get back on track i am thinking of having porridge in the mornings. not really had it before so i want to start of by using the easy sachet things.
could someone tell me which are heb?
and if the flavoured ones are a heb + extra syns or just syns ????

i have friends round tonight and i am cooking quorn bolognaise so thats healthy - and i will limit myself to just 1 slice of garlic bread.
then tomorrow night i am out for a family meal. it is a spanish place so i was thinking of having their chicken and chorizo paelle
saturday i am going to an asian engagment do so there will be much dahl/rice/bharjis throughout the day/eve
sunday i am going to a spa so wont have time to do my big sw shop that i wanted to do.

so it looks like i will be joining that tankwagon early next week now
