Oat bran

[ClaireS84]

Hello

Can someone please tell me if oat bran can be used as a HE? If it is how much can I use?

Sorry if this has been asked before-did attempt a search but the phone has difficulties.

Thanks.

It's the same as scan bran, 5 for a HEB or 1 syn each. I've never tried the oat bran but tempted to buy them next time instead of scan bran.

I'm assuming ClaireS84 is talking about bags of oat bran? It's very high fibre (~15%), so I think it might qualify as HE. I'd be interested in a definitive answer too....

Hi ya

Yeah I meant the stuff you get in the bag.

I've been counting it as a HE but will confirm with my C on Monday. I've been using 2 tbsp (about 26g-I think).

Will keep you posted or hopefully someone else might be able to shed some light before Monday.

Ooh yummy. Have you got a recipe? I just have my oatbran as porridge. Would nice to make something different.

Here's how I make them, but if you look on the recipe section of the Dukan diet (I searched for oatbran recipes,and lots came up on the Dukan bit) , it'll give you other ideas for flavours

Makes 6 good size muffins)

60g oatbran (2xHexb)
Half tub quark (can use fat free fromage frais or yogurt or 0% Total)
half teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
6 tablespoons Splenda
cinnamon ( I put lots in because I love cinnamon)

I just put everything in a dish and mix together then put into 6 silicone muffin cases. Bake at gas mark 6 for 20/25 mins.
They can be microwaved if you are in a hurry but I prefer them baked.
Three muffins has 1 heb of oatbran. They keep well in the fridge and can be frozen if you want to bake in bulk.

The oatbran vanilla pancake is lush too.
