Weight Watchers Citrus Loaf Fat Free Core Recipes

WEIGHT WATCHERS CITRUS LOAF (FAT FREE / CORE)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 4 / 180c and line a loaf tin with grase-proof paper.
• Blend the chickpeas in a food processor until smooth.
• Add the eggs, splenda, baking powder and zests of the orange and lemon. Mix again.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for thirty minutes until the cake is golden and a knife comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and use a knife or skewer to make several holes in the top. Spoon a tablespoon of orange juice over the cake and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Mix the remaining orange juice with the lemon juice.
• Cut the cake into 12 slices and serve 2 slices per person, covered in more of the fruit juice and dusted with mixed spice and some extra Splenda.

WW CORE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place fennel seeds in a small, non stick pan over medium high heat on your stove top to roast. Occasionally stir or shake seeds as they roast. Roast until seeds start to appear a bit golden in color instead of greenish, about 2 minutes. Be careful, they will go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
• Place the diced onion and olive oil in a non stick pan, sprinkle with salt and saute. To avoid burning, add the minced garlic to the onions after a few minutes. Saute onions and garlic until tender.
• In a large bowl, combine turkey, oats, whisked eggs, sauteed onion and garlic, fennel seed, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and about 3 tablespoons of the canned tomato sauce, reserving the remaining sauce. Combine well using your hands or a large spoon.
• Spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Turn meat mixture out into the baking dish and form into a rectangular loaf that ends about an inch and a half from the sides of the pan. I like to flatten the top of the loaf and then form an indentation around the top to make a lip. This helps to keep the tomato sauce on top of the loaf.
• Pour the remaining tomato sauce on top of the loaf spooning some onto the sides of the loaf.
• Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 55 minutes.

FAT FREE LOAF (WITH DATES AND CARROT-YUMMY!)

Steps:

• Combine dates, brown sugar, bicarb soda and water in a pot. Bring to boil, simmer for 1-2 mins (stir a few times) then turn off heat and leave to cool.
• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius Grease a 22x 11cm tin (or use baking paper).
• Add carrot to date mix (I just grate straight into pot) a 1/2 or whole apple is also nice grated in too (I don't wait until date mix is totally cool).
• Sift flour and spices together and add to mix. (I don't- I just chuck it all into the pot! Saves on dishes).
• Mix well and spoon into loaf tin. You can add extra water if too dry to mix well.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes Use a skewer to check if middle cooked.
• Note- if using gluten free flour (not self raising) add 2- 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder + 1 tsp (optional) of guar gum.
