My favourite cake is very much out of bounds while trying to lose weight, so I thought I’d try a little experiment, by combining the ever-so-succesful oat pancake recipe, the half-syn roulade recipe and a traditional carrot cake recipe.

Serves 4

1 Syn on Extra Easy

Providing you use the oats as your Healthy Extra B

* I made two cakes, and we did eat a whole one each, but half a cake would be enough for one person really, we were just being greedy.

You could, of course, omit the sultanas and make the cake almost syn free, as there is only ¼ syn in the baking powder. I thought the sultanas were worth the syns though.

 Ingredients
  • 70g porridge oats
  • 1 tub Müllerlight mandarin yogurt
  • 2 small carrots, finely grated
