Scan Bran Rocky Road Muffins

This mix makes 8 muffins.  If you use the scan bran as your HEB they are 1.5 syns each and if you’re synning the scan bran they’re 2 syns each.  
 
These rocky road muffins are moist and have a cake like consistency.  The flavor of the scan bran is still there but it’s now a more chocolate-y version.  I like these although I wouldn’t want to eat them every day.  Then again the amount of fiber in them I don’t think anynone should eat them every day!

Makes 8 muffins

Ingredients:

5 scan bran (5= HEB or 5.5 syns)
25g cocoa powder (4 syns)
5 tablespoons syn free sweetener
3 eggs
Few drops chocolate extract
Few drops salted or butter caramel extract/essence
2 tablespoon choc shot (4 syns)
12 mini marshmallows (1 syn)

Method

Pre heat the oven to 180 or gas mark 6

Break the scan bran up into a bowl and pour boiling water over it.  You want to soak but not drown them so cover with a little water spare, you can always add more.  The scan bran will absorb the hot water and when you crush with a fork will leave you with a soft breadcrumb type consistency.

In a separate bowl measure the cocoa powder, sweetener, 1 tbsp choc shot and essences.  Add the eggs and lightly mix until everything is evenly divided

Add the egg mixture to the scan bran crumble and mix thoroughly

Divide into 8 muffin cases; I always use silicone as I find the cake sticks to paper cases

Your muffins should look like this:

Bake for 25-30 minutes until spongy to the touch

Let the muffins cool for a while, I usually leave mine 30-60 minutes

Now it’s time to rocky road them!

Measure 1 tbsp choc shot and drizzle over the muffins

Next cut your mini marshmallow into quarters and the big bits smaller still – I found this the most time consuming part of this bake!

Sprinkle the marshmallows on the muffins and you’re done.  

You can add a little more choc shot if you’d like them to be super gooey, it’s won’t make much difference to the syns when you’re dividing by 8 (2 per tablespoon)
