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.

Diet tips
If you enjoy eating, but want to become thin and make improvements in your general well-being, then, without doubt, you really should start a specially prepared well-balanced meal plan. At best, this ought to involve five helpings of pulses and vegetables a day and involve an appropriate combination of carbohydrate, fats, and protein.
When planning a dietary regime, it is essential to make sure you decrease consumption of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When selecting food, dieters far too often concentrate on chain store and well known food items claiming to be 'low in fat'. To do this is usually foolish, for a food item can be low in fat content, but still contain excess calories and carbs.
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body requires water , it is critical for our general health and has no calories. Water also has the benefit that it fills the drinker's tummy and helps decrease feelings of hunger. A few researchers warn it is best to drink as high as six glasses of plain water per day.
Rather than paying too much attention to which junk foods you ought to remove from your dietary regime, focus on the recommended foods that you might want to introduce to your weight loss program. If one can manage to insert a few beneficial fruit & veg into your weight loss program, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a significantl;y reduced chance of giving in to those detrimental midday munchies.
