If you don’t have a waffle maker you could use the same mixture to make pancakes. Just pop the mixture in a pancake shape into a hot frying pan sprayed with 1kal, cook, flip, cook and serve!

Either way is a great option to satisfy your sweet tooth without being naughty and they are so quick and simple to make.

Ingredients

Makes 2 waffles = 0sp (Flex)

1 banana, mashed

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp fat free natural yoghurt

Spoonful of raspberries to taste

Method

Pre heat your waffle maker/pan.

Pop your banana into a bowl and mash. Then add the eggs and beat everything well together. Then add the cinnamon and mix again.

Pop the mixture onto the grill plates, close the lid and leave for between 8 and 10 minutes.

Take out and serve with natural yoghurt and raspberries (or which ever fruit you fancy).

Enjoy!

3 tsp light butter

1600g jar of mincemeat

6 sheets of filo pastry (U use a pack of Jus-Rol Filo Pastry)

3. Put two sheets of pastry on top of each other and, using a knife, lightly score and cut the sheets into eight even squares.
4. In the middle of each square, pop a heaped teaspoon of mincemeat, then, using a pastry brush, brush a little butter around the edge of each square.
5. Fold the two opposite corners of each square in on the filling and then the two other corners. Bunch together to make a little parcel and pop them onto a lined baking tray.
6. Repeat with the next two sheets of pastry and, once the parcels are complete, repeat again with the last two sheets of pastry.

POINTS AND NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Serves 2 – per serving = 4 points or 231 cals, 7.3g fat, 23.0g carbs, 12.2g protein

Ingredients

2 x large Bramley apples, peeled, cored and roughly diced

1 tbsp powdered sweetener

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Good grating of nutmeg

Zest of 1 lemon

2 low calorie tortilla wraps

1 egg white

Serving Suggestions

Dusting of icing sugar

10 strawberries, diced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tbsp (30ml) light single cream (I use Elmlea)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
2. Put the apple, sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon zest in a pan with 50ml water, bring to a medium heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the apples have softened. You want it so the apples are soft but still hold their shape. Remove from the hob and cool for 5 minutes.
3. Next, take one wrap and add half the apple filling down the centre lengthways, forming a narrow ‘sausage’ of apple filling. Leave plenty of the wrap exposed on either side of the mixture. You don’t want to overfill it or it will get rather messy!
4. Wrap the strudel like you would a burrito – fold the top and bottom in first and then wrap over the left side and roll. Pop a little egg white at each end and nip the ends together so the apple mixture doesn’t ooze out. Repeat with the second wrap.
5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Add each wrap to the tray with the end of the wrap underneath. Brush the top of the wrap with a little more egg white and pop in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the top is nice and golden but the wrap is still soft and pastry-like.
6. Remove from the oven and then slice each wrap in half. Serve topped with a dusting of icing sugar, strawberries, a squeeze of lemon and cream.
