Using up Ready Brek...

Boodle

If you mix it with ordinary rolled oats for porridge it changes the texture. I would add it to cakes, bread and pancakes etc in place of some of the flour. If you check out this site, a lot of the recipes use the fine oat cereal in them even the veggie burgers (which I have tried and can recommend )

I always wanted Ready Brek when I was younger as I wanted to have the orangey-glow around me (I was heavily influenced by the tv adverts :rotfl: ) but my parents refused to buy it and bought porridge
oats instead. Not the same thing at all

I also yearned for pre-sliced bread, too.

I've just made some of the Ready Brek muffins that barneysmum posted the link to and they are yum!! Thank you.

It's actually really good for boosting your vitamin/calcium content when you're eating on a budget. It adds to biscuits and baked goods pretty easily.

Used to have Ready Brek when I was a kid and loved it for breakfast!

Has anyone tried these without bananas? DS1 & I really don't like bananas very much, can eat fairly green ones, but don't like banana bread either - & DS2 eats very overripe bananas anyway, so any left over ones aren't a problem.

They sound great but I would have to use apple or other fruit puree for them...

I use ready brek to make hobnob/digestive style biscuits - these are fab, nice and crunchy but great for dunking in tea too - we get through loads, plus they're much nicer than any shop-bought biscuits!

ALICE'S READY BREK "DIGESTIVES"

1/2 cup ready brek
1 cup porridge oats
4 tbsp sugar
1tbsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
7 tbsp oil (i use olive)
1 or 2 tablespoons milk to combine.

put all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix with the oil to form breadcrumbs then add in the milk to bring it to a soft dough.

pat out into little 3mm thick cirlces on a tray (don't worry, they don't really spread or rise)

bake at 180 for 10-15 minutes or until just golden then leave them to cool.

I make my own yogurt and add a couple of spoonfuls of the Lidls version for breakfast, along with a handful of raisins, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts and whatever else I have in my row of 'pick & mix' jars Thickens it up and tastes lush!:)
