The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 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.

The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Nope, odd isn't it? It goes slightly against the grain to make a recipe without eggs, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Don't be put off; it's delicious. Bready or cakey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 It's moist and just like malt loaf in texture and similar in taste. Much denser than cake or bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 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. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 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.
