Easy Delicious Fruit and Spice Scan Bran Cake - high in fibre and the perfect treat for any day of the week.
High Fibre Cake
This Fruit and Spice Scan Bran Cake is my go to treat, when I want something high in fibre to enjoy with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
Usually I make a baked Cheesecake or muffins of some sort, but when I noticed some scan bran in the cupboard that needed to be used up, I just threw together some ingredients, aiming for a kind of bread and butter pudding and this totally hit the spot.
Moist, spicy, fruity - I couldn’t even taste the scan bran like you do in some cakes and it really was a nice substitute for the very high calorie filled bread and butter pudding recipes you see.
What is Scan Bran?
Scan bran is short for Scandinavian Bran Crispbread. A very high fibre and hard crispbread that is great for keeping you well satiated.
They are pretty hard to eat on their own, but with a good choice of toppings they can be more enjoyable. However you eat them, they are going to keep you fuller for much longer than any other cracker or bread.

Hi, I made this cake this afternoon and what can I say. The best scan bran cake I've made and tasted since joining SW 15mths ago. It was light, moist and really tasty.
thanks for the recipe I will be making this again.
Brilliant site.
admin says
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. It is definately one of my favorite cake recipes too. It was actually chance that it turned out so well, as I just threw together a load of ingredients that I thought would work well together and they did :). My first scan bran cake where you can not taste scan bran lol.
Kay Smith says
Hi, I've made this cake often since dropping you a line on Feb 2nd. It's a favourite of my husbands also. We had a tasting session at our group meeting today and I took along your cake. It was a resounding success. Unfortunately not everyone was able to have a taste so I'll be taking along another one!. I've passed your web site details on to those that are on the internet. However a few of the senior ladies do not use a computer and have asked if I could provide them with a recipe. Would you have any objection to me passing this recipe on.
regards
Kay

Hiya, no of course I don't mind the recipe being given to others, as long as it is confirmed it came from slimmingeats. Whether they view it on here and love it, or it is recommend in other ways and they love it, that is fine by me :).
admin says

Myrna Lyman says
This is the first scan bran cake I have made & I love it!! I have really missed sultana loaf & teacakes & malt loaf & this is just as satisfying. I made a square one & cut it into 12 slices & call it a syn a slice. I will def be making it again. Thank you. xx

Can the scan bran be counted as a Heb?
admin says

What is scan bran? I live in Spain and I am not aware of it, is it like a ryvita type cracker?
Anonymous says
yep it is a bit like ryvita, but much higher in fibre and a lot harder in texture.If you google scandinavian crispbreads you will find them, I think you can order online if you can't get them where you are, not sure on how expensive that will be to deliver to spain though. If you can get All bran though that works just as well as a replacement.

this was lovely with a dollop of fat free fromage frais and the next day was even better just like bread pudding. Husband and son like it too.
Alison says
Have tried scan bran cakes before and really not liked them, but have just made this and it is indeed lovely! Will make again when I fancy a sweet treat. Was very nice, thanks for the recipe.
