Yorkshire Parkin (Oatmeal Gingerbread)
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) medium oatmeal (this
Means ground oatmeal, not
Rolled oats)
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) whole-wheat flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Ground ginger
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup (4 oz) apple sauce
1 1/2 cup (8 oz) brown sugar
1/3 cup (5 oz) black treacle (a kind
Molasses)
1/3 cup (4 oz) golden syrup You
Could substitute molasses
For both of these, I guess.
1 Egg white or substitute,
Lightly beaten
1/2 cup (4 fl oz) skimmed milk or
Substitute
Parkin is a variety of gingerbread, good warming stuff to eat out of
doors in cold weather. When I was a child, it was always a firm
favourite for the firework party on Bonfire Night each year. This is
adapted from my mother's recipe.
Method:
Prepare 2 1-lb loaf tins, or an 9x9 inch square tin, by spraying with
Pam. Set the oven at 350 deg F (gas mark 4).
In a large bowl, mix together the oatmeal, flour, baking powder,
ginger, and salt. In a small bowl or saucepan, mix together the apple
sauce, sugar, treacle, syrup, and milk, and warm slightly to dissolve
the sugar. Add these to the oatmeal mixture along with the egg white,
and mix together to make a soft mixture of a slow-pouring
consistency, adding extra milk if necessary. Bake for 40-50 minutes,
or until the top springs back when pressed lightly with a finger.
After it has cooled a bit, but before it gets cold, cut it into 2-inch
squares in the tin. Cool the pieces on a wire rack, and store them in
an airtight container.
It tastes better if it is stored for 2-3 days before eating.

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and make improvements in your overall vitality, without doubt you really should commence a thoughtfully designed wholesome weight loss program. At best, this must take in 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and contain the correct mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
When deciding on a dietary regime, it is important to make sure you decrease consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
When buying food, dieters far too often concentrate on supermarket and brand name food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is usually incorrect, since a food item may be reduced in fat, but still high in calories.
Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is indispensable for our general good health and is blessed with calories and fat. It also has the benefit that it fills a dieter's stomach and helps reduce sensations of hunger. The recommended portions researchers claim that we should aim to drink at the minimum 6 tumblers of water a day.
Rather than thinking about those food types you need to leave out of your diet, look at the good foods which you are able to bring into your daily routine. If you can bring in the recommended portions nutritious grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll find that you feel more full and have a far lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday chocolates.
