It was developed for a special diet where one cannot mix carbohydrates and fats. Moreover, sugar is forbidden. However, complex carbohydrates are allowed (nothing refined). Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk (may be 1 low - 0% fat yogurt plus skimmed milk to complete 1-1/2 cup) |
1 cup rolled oats (not refined or instant) |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup oat bran or 1/2 cup natural bran |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4-1 cup chopped prune (can mix with raisins, and even put more if you like sweeter) |
1 banana, very ripe well mashed (or about 100 g - 3 oz of unsweetened apple sauce, or pureed prunes) |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 cup honey (n.b. those who wish a sweeter cake may add) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place the oatmeal and the buttermilk in a bowl (a bit in advance so the oats soften)- mix well Add dried fruit.
2. Add all the other ingredients and mix very well- the mashed banana (or apple sauce, or pureed prunes), last Pour batter (it is quite solid, like for muffins) in a 9 inch, or 23 cm, non-stick loaf pan; sprinkle with oat flakes and let it rest in the pan for 20 minutes (before baking) Bake in preheated oven- 350ºF or 180ºC for 1 hour to 1 hr 10 mins (really depends on the oven).
