Slimming Eats Recipe

Serves 6

Green – 3.5 syns per serving

Extra Easy – 3.5 syns per serving

Original – 3.5 syns per serving

 

Ingredients

• 6 Scandinavian Crisp Breads (scan bran) (6 syns)
• 40g of self raising flour (7.5 syns)
• 1/2 cup of sweetener
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Fry’s) (1.5 syns)
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg white
• 3/4 cup (175ml) of skimmed milk (3 syns)
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• 1 tsp of icing sugar (1 syn)
• low calorie spray

to serve:

• 1/2 cup (120ml) of quark
• sweetener to taste
• little drop of vanilla extract

 

Method

Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)

Heat milk until warm and then pour over the crisp breads and allow to soak until softened.

Once crisps breads are softened, add the entire mix to a blender with the sweetener, vanilla and cocoa powder until you have a smooth batter.

Stir in the flour.

Beat in the eggs and egg white and add to a cake tin greased with some low calorie spray (I also lined with some parchment paper).

Place in the oven and bake until firm and a skewer entered into the centre comes out clean (approx 30 mins)

Allow to cool and then sprinkle with the icing sugar.

Serve with a dollop the quark mixture.

This is also great served with some fresh berries.
