My brother always calls this 'Pirate's Gingerbread' because it reminds him of Pirates of the Caribbean because of the rum! It's an adapted Weightwatchers recipe, and it's very sticky and keeps well for a week. I usually double the ginger, Perfect for a Pirate themed party! Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter (can use low-fat, the original recipe does but it tastes better with butter) or 1/4 cup margarine (can use low-fat, the original recipe does but it tastes better with butter) |
2 tablespoons marmalade |
1/2 cup golden syrup |
1/2 cup molasses |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons rum (i like morgan's spiced) |
1/2 cup skim milk |
3/4 cup wholewheat flour |
3/4 cup self-raising flour |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon mixed spice |
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda |
1/2 cup porridge oats |
1 large egg |
Directions:
1. Put the butter, marmalade, syrup, molasses, sugar and rum in a large saucepan and heat until bubbling, stirring well. Simmer gently until sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat and stir in the milk.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Spray a 7 inch square baking tin with low fat cooking spray and line with non-stick parchment paper.
3. Put dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to mix. One the wet ingredients are cool, all in dry ingredients and egg and beat until smooth (don't overbeat!). Pour into prepared tin.
