I used this recipe hun:
SPICEDFRUIT SCAN BRAN TEA CAKE
-------------------------------------
5 scan bran (5 syns)
large cup of strong black tea (brew 2 teabags for about 10 mins)
35g raisins (5 syns)
1 tbsp malt extract (2 syns)
3 beaten eggs,
6 tablespoons sweetener,
1 tsp mixed spice (2 tbsp of mixed spice is a bit much!)
Method:
Soak the fruit and scan bran in the strong tea for 15 minutes. Drain off the excess liquid, add the remaining ingredients and microwave for about 5 minutes.
When I make it again I'll probably leave the malt extract out as you can't taste it in the final cake (I couldn't resist trying a piece!)

How did you get it so cake looking? Mine always looks a little flat but tastes good. X

I was a Scanbran cake virgin until this morning. The first was so good, I immediately made a second!
The first was simply a banana and custard one, using 2tbsp of sweetener. I sampled this whilst still warm (patience is not my strongest suit) and thought it a bit too sweet. I was interested to find that the sweetness seems to diminish and the bran taste gets stronger as the cake cools.
The second was with a toffee Muller and a hazelnut Options (2 Syns) and 1 tbsp sweetener but I haven't sampled it yet.
I think Scanbran cakes but just be the answer when I need a sweet fix - cut into little squares it will help with those ' I've just to eat and eat and eat' times!
One word of warning to other first timers: I used an electric hand whisk the first time. Big mistake as the mix went everywhere!
Just beat vigorously with a fork until everything is well mixed.
Next time, I'm going to experiment with a savoury one to have for a packed lunch. Think it might be best to wait for a few days first!
(Has anyone tried freezing them? Individual slices would be handy).

I used the peach/brown packet. It contains oat bran which is supposed to be good for the heart.
