I'm re-posting this one because folks are always asking for it and I can never fins my original post

 

Julie’s two cup roughage loaf

 

This comes out like a malt loaf (can be eaten with butter spread on it) and is a brilliant recipe – easy to make and nutritious too. My friend made me one when I had just given birth, to ward off any potential constipation.

 

2 cups of All Bran cereal

2 cups light muscovado sugar

2 cups of chopped prunes (I do one cup of prunes and one of dates)

2 cups of milk

2 cups of SR flour

 

Mix all the ingredients except for the flour in a bowl and leave in the fridge over night. Pre-heat the oven to 350f/180c/gas 4 and line a 2lb loaf tin (I use the greaseproof liners from Lakeland).

 

Add the flour to the mixture and bake for around 60 mins, or until a skewer in the middle comes out clean.

 

Allow to stand before turning out.

No eggs in this?

[The Dogmother]

Nope, odd isn't it?

 

It goes slightly against the grain to make a recipe without eggs, doesn't it?

[Saronne]

Hey, if it works, it works..

Not the most appetising of names or list of ingredients

Don't be put off; it's delicious.

It sounds great to me - easy and wholesome and my OH loves malt loafy type things Do you think it'll work as a slow release energy food whilst on a bicycle?

[The Dogmother]

It'd probably be good for that, it's really more-ish in a malt loaf sort of way and it's also a good way to get children eating dried fruit/roughage.

Bready or cakey?

[The Dogmother]

It's moist and just like malt loaf in texture and similar in taste. Much denser than cake or bread.

Thanks for this - just our type of thing, as we also like Malt Loaf & Bara Brith. Will give it a whirl at the weekend.

I could have done with this after my operation.

I have trouble stopping my DS from eating dried fruit, he gets through loads of raisins, prunes and apricots, but apart from bananas and satsumas does't like any other fresh fruit. he get strawberries and raspberries when they are in season whether he likes it or not. It is strange because he was a real fruit bat when he was a toddler, but didn't like veg, now loves veg and salad except tomatoes but doesn't eat fresh fruit.

 

This sounds like my sort of thing, although it will play havoc with YD's and DS's braces

[The Dogmother]

oh golly, I can imagine that it'd be murder with braces! Still plenty of pick out for later

 

Rosie was the same, she still likes salads, some veg and some fruit but is much more picky than she was as a smallster.

Suspect it will keep hime regular - chickencam

I made this at the weekend, it's lovely and got a thumbs up from OH. So quick and easy to make aswell, well apart from the soaking.

 

Thank you for the recipe
