What do you do when a late night craving won’t go away? This is a tricky one as the other night I spent ages mentally throwing back the pros and cons to a naughty desert.
Deep down I knew I wanted a treacle sponge pudding with custard and I’ve stopped buying anything more than a fat free muller light yoghurt as everything else offers only a short window of opportunity to be eaten in our house.
So I decided it was best to hit my sweet tooth notes and syn properly with this recipe and saw it as a time to clear the fridge & shelves before the kitchen remodeling began. However, I took on more than I bargained for… weevils were crawling around in every one of my packets of flour, including unopened ones and had only one other option; oat pudding. At least the clearing took a dent in my shelves but will have to consider air tight containers.
And this pudding became a very moist, oaty recipe, discovered by mistake, beautifully resembling the bottom of an eve’s pudding and truly naughty. I don’t make things like this often at all and seldom buy butter and sugar, but if you bake cakes for people on occasion, you’re often left with things that need using up, so it’s definitely a one off treat.
Recipe – SERVES 4
1 egg
50g butter
50g caster sugar
50g porridge oats
2 tbsp milk
0.5 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp golden syrup

Method
- Cream together the butter and sugar and mix in the egg.
- Stir in the mix and stir slowly
- Now mix in the oats and baking powder and set aside.
- In a large microwavable bowl, pour in the golden syrup and pour over the oat mixture and microwave for 3 minutes.
- Serve with custard or eat alone as I did, alongside a cup of tea to wash it down.
I hope this recipe can fix your craving, but once in a while, of course?

I work this out as 42.25 syns for the recipe, assuming milk is taken out of HEA allowance? 36.25 if using oats as HEB? Is that right? Quite impressed that you could make this and still be within syns for the day! Think my danger would be eating more than the one portion 🙂 Thanks very much for sharing x
Oh no the syns are scary! Lol. This was a naughty off-plan accidental treat – although was so nice, I won’t make again in a hurry! And on that note, I think I’ll start this morning with syn free microwave baked oats lol x
If it’s within the 15 for the day per portion, that’s not too bad! Plus, sometimes you need something so scrummy to keep you going! x
The recipe according to the Original site says serves 4 but I might have eaten 2 portions… So glad I rarely have butter in the house and the flour all had to be chucked. But yes, I definitely needed something and as long as it’s not a habit 🙂 x
Haha, yeah – portion control would definitely be my downfall!
