Ingredients
Method
- Weigh out dry ingredients into a bowl.
- Measure water and oil and syrup/honey if used)into a jug and add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Leave to stand for at least an hour or even overnight in the fridge.
- It's best to line your container with baking parchment unless it has a good non-stick surface. Spoon mix into a 2lb loaf tin, or any container of the right size, glass Pyrex gratin dish, casserole etc or even place on a lined baking tray and form into a loaf shape. It can also be made into individual roll shapes.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 170oC. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn, if it start to go too dark on top cover with greaseproof paper and lower the oven temperature by 10 degrees.
- Turn out and allow to cool.

Notes
If you don't have oat-bran simply use a Flax Farm Linseed Breakfast Porridge or Muesli. The Gluten-Free Linseed Porridge or Gluten-free Super Seedy Linseed Porridge/Muesli are both really good options with plenty of soluble-fibre in the ground linseed to replace the heart-healthy soluble fibre of the oat bran.
Don't eat oats? Grain-free? Avoiding all cereals? Paleo? Then use Flax Farm's Special Linseed and Buckwheat porridge with Quinoa instead of Oat-bran
I usually make this without salt or syrup and it's great but do admit I prefer the flavour with a little salt. To salve my conscience I use a healthier option, Sunshine Salt which is specially formulated to be lower in sodium chloride (naughty) salt but rich in essential minerals.
