Ingredients

140 g

Oat bran

40 g

Egg(s)

Sugar-free maple syrup

1 tbs

Fresh dates

2 individual, pitted

99% fat-free, plain or natural yoghurt, unsweetened

cup(s), (160g)

Iced coffee concentrate

2 tsp, espresso

Instructions

  1. Using a fork, mash half the pear in a medium bowl. Add oat bran, egg, cinnamon and maple syrup and stir until well combined. Spoon mixture into a 1 cup (250ml) capacity microwave-safe bowl or mug. Microwave on High (100%) for 1½ minutes or until cakes starts to come away from the sides and top is just firm (see tips). Remove from bowl and cut cake in half horizontally. Cool.
