Healthy - ish cake!

This is a bran loaf.

Fat-free, egg-free; you could make it vegan if you used soya milk.

In a large bowl stir together:

2 cups dried mixed fruit

2 cups brown sugar

2 cups of All-Bran cereal

2 cups milk

Leave for a few hours or preferably overnight.

Mix in 2 cups of self raising flour.

Bake at 160 degrees for about 1 and a half hours.

I like mine with a bit of home made marmalade.

Fat Free Banana Muffins

Judging by the amount of baking on this blog you might think I care nothing for healthy food. It's true I'm not a big fan of salad, but I do try to eat pretty well; everything in moderation is my philosophy!

So here are wholemeal fat free banana muffins...

Mix together 1 cup wholemeal bread flour, 1/2 cup plain white flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp bicarb of soda and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Mix 1 egg, 3/4 cup of skimmed milk and 2 or 3 mashed bananas (the riper the better.)

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, try not to over blend or your muffins will be tough. Divide mixture into either 6 large or 12 small paper cases.

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes at 200 degrees C, until firm to the touch.
