Scan Bran Recipe Thread

[bilsat]

This time I have added mixed nuts to give a better taste......

Pete’s Ferrero Rocher (2013)

27 Syns in total/24 made just over 1 Syn each

Ingredients

1 Pack of Options (Belgium Chocolate) (2 syns)
3 level tbsp. of nutella (12 syns)
5 scan bran (5 syns)
25g Mixed nuts (8 syns)
Warm water

Method

Place the scan bran & nuts into a food blender and reduce to small pieces. Place in a glass bowl & mix.

Place 3 level tbsp. of nutella into a microwave proof dish and microwave for 30 secs (600w), remove and add warm water as required to make a paste.
Add the scan bran and mix until the liquid has been totally absorbed.
Using a plastic spatula scrap 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 27 and I made 24 of them! Just over 1 Syn each.

Found this on the internet

Low syn cheese cake

you need the following to make it

For the base

5x scan bran (heb)
2x eggs
4x tbsp sweetener
1x tsp mixed spice

For the cheesecake topping

1x tub of quark
1x tub of fromage frais (500g) OR mullerlight to the weight of 500g
1x packet of gelatine, made up with 30ml of water -not sure on syn value

soak scan bran in hot water to soften, drain off and mix all other ingredients together, and bake in microwave for 7mins on high and leave to cool.
Once cool, put in a cake tin or dish.

Meanwhile, mix the quark and fromage frais ( i used 2x chocolate and vanilla mullerlight and 200g of fromage frais ) beating well to make smooth.

Make the gelatine with the water, and mix into the quark and fromage frais mix, pour on top of the base, and refridgerate for 2-3hrs until set.

Serves about 8, or 4 wedges if your greedy. 1 HEB choice - but you have to eat this in 1 day to count as a healthy extra.

Just discovered this thread, trying to eat a bit more scan bran this week to combat an unexpected midweek gain - brilliant recipe ideas! x

Going to try those biscuits as they sound lovely, but today I have discovered that you can make the chocolate cake without the golden syrup and it doesn't really taste any different!

5 Scan Bran (HEB or 6 Syns)
1 Belgian Choc Options (2 Syns)
4 tbsp Sweetener
2 Eggs

7 mins in the microwave, and yummy! I topped mine with sweetened quark and fresh raspberries

[sarah29704]

It is, or rather was!! Demolished a little too quickly x

but worth it!

 

[MissNix]

but worth it!

Oh totally haha! Although my stomach has started making some strange noises, think maybe that was a bit too much bran and sweetener in one sitting

Hi new to this but these recipes all sound great!! Sorry if this had been asked before but if I replace scan bran with weetabix do I just exchange like for like??

 

[ColJack]

No, 2 weetabix is 5 scanbran

 

[top_mum]

Fab thank you, will try these out later!

 

[top_mum]

Delicious, but out of 18 I only got 2 the rest were eaten by hubby n kids!!!
Got another question made scan bran curly wurly cake but its very dry, is that right?

Here's my attempt at the scan bran chocolate and coffee cake and I'd recommend it, I've tried a few and I'd say this is my favourite. It's got a sort of tiramisu taste so would be good to use as a base for a dessert too.









With strawberries and squirty light cream and pineapple and cream. I used it all as syns as already had my hexb, so 8.5 whole cake and cut into quarters did me 4 days, at only 2 syns a time , (warmed up is better)

SCAN BRAN CHOCOLATE & COFFEE CAKE
-------------------------------------------------
5 Scan bran (HEXB or 5 Syns)
3 eggs
Sweetener (I just chucked it in, lots of it!)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (1 Syn)
1 tbsp golden syrup (2.5 Syns)
2 tbsp DE hazelnut coffee (can use any coffee you like)
1. Soak scan bran in boiling water to soften it. Drain and mash.
2. Add all ingredients and mix well
3. Pour into a oven dish and cook for 15 mins on gas 6 or microwave 7 mins on high
4. Cake should be spongy to touch and should have separated from the sides of dish.
3.5 Syns for whole cake if using scan bran as a HEXB

 

[MissNix]

That looks really nice, wish I liked coffee!! x

 

[Loundy]

I've got a pack of scan bran that needs using &amp; I would like to try one of the cakes but unsure which. I've tried the chocolate one on SW site &amp; I wasn't a fan!

Like the look of the curly wurly one but just wondered which were your faves??

I finally have some scan bran, yay! Unfortunately, I don't have any of the ingredients to make the cherry bakewell, curly wurly or chocolate cake. Epic fail with regards my shopping trip, haha!
