Slimming World 1/2 Syn Raspberry Roulade

Nothing better than having a pal over for tea and presenting a fabulous cake for you both to enjoy. Luckily this doesn't have to be a forgotten pre-Slimming World memory any more! This gorgeous Raspberry Roulade is the perfect tray bake replacement. Since the fruit is added after cooking, the overall recipe adds up to a mere 0.5 syns! Find the recipe and method below.

Ingredients:

  • 250g tub of any Quark
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Tsp baking powder
  • 2-3 drops of vanilla essence.
  • 3 Tbsps of sweetener
  • A tray of raspberries (also works well with strawberries or any other syn free fruit)

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
  2. Separate the eggs into yolks into one bowl, and the yolks into another.
  3. Whisk together a half tub of quark with the yolks, baking powder, sweetener and vanilla essence.
  4. Whisk egg whites until they form soft peaks.
  5. Slowly add the whisked egg whites into the yolk mixture.
  6. Line a rectangular oven tray with baking paper and spray with plenty of frylight
  7. Carefully pour the mixture so that it lines the tray evenly.
  8. Cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 4-5 minutes.
  9. Peel baking paper from the cake and allow to cool fully. While this is cooling, mix the remainder of the quark with another drop of vanilla essence.
  10. Evenly spread the quark and fruit over the cooled cake.
  11. Gently roll up the cake into a roulade. Cut into slices as generous as you would like!

Baked Oats

 

Porridge. It's not very glamorous is it? But we can snazz it up. All we have to do is whack it in the oven with a few simple ingredients and you have the very respectable and distinguished sounding "baked oats" :)  It also doesn't hurt that it tastes great and keeps you full for hours! My recipe here will cost you 3.5 syns per serving, read on for details on keeping it syn free.

Recipe

Makes 4 servings

  • 1 banana (4 syns when cooked)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder (1/2 syn)
  • 1 teaspoon almond essence
  • 25g flaked almonds (7.5 syns)
  • 1 heaped teaspoon of brown sugar (2 syns)
  • 2 x Muller Light Yoghurts or syn-free yoghurt of choice
  • 1 egg
  • 70g Porridge Oats (2 x Healthy B)

Method: 

  1. Mix Muller lights/yoghurt, egg and almond essence in a bowl.  
  2. Add oats and baking soda and mix well.
  3. Spray an 8'' baking tray with frylight
  4. Slice one banana (or fruit of choice) and line the bottom of the tray
  5. Pour in the batter. Scatter almonds on top
  6. Bake on 180c/375F for 25 minutes
  7. After 25 mins, sprinkle the brown sugar on top, turn up the heat to 200c and broil for a further 3-5 mins to get a lovely carmelised topping

 

 

Keeping it syn free: 

Forego the sugar, almonds and baking soda. Add banana after cooking  for a syn-free alternative.
