sugar-free-cake recipe recipe

Ingredients:
1 and
1/2 cup of buttermilk (may be 1 low - 0% - fat yogurt plus

skimmed milk to complete 1 1/2 cup)

1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats),
whole (not refined)

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup bran
or oat bran

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking
soda

3/4 to 1 cup chopped prunes (can mix with raisins, and even
put more
if you like sweeter)

1 banana (very ripe)
well mashed (or about 100 grs. - 3 oz. - of
unsweetened apple
sauce, or pureed prunes)

Ground cinnamon to taste.

N.B.
Those who wish a sweeter cake may add about 1/8 cup honey

Procedures:
1. Place
the oatmeal and the buttermilk in a bowl (a bit in advance so

the oats soften) - mix well

2. Add dried fruit

3. Add all
the other ingredients and mix very well - the mashed
banana
(or apple sauce, or pureed prunes), last.

Pour batter (it is quite
solid, like for muffins) in a 9 inch, or
23 cm., non-stick loaf pan;
sprinkle with oat flakes and LET
IT REST IN THE PAN FOR 20 MINUTES
(BEFORE BAKING)

Bake in preheated oven - 350 Fahrenheit or 180
Centigrade
for 1 hour to 1 hr 10 min. (really depends on the oven - in
mine it
takes 1 hour 10 minutes)
