No-Fat, No-Bread, Bread Pudding

No, that's not a mistake, there's no added fat or even bread in this bread pudding style pudding.  There is however couscous - don't switch off though, it's a really surprisingly tasty recipe.

This instructable was a collaboration between myself and Helsbels who is my lovely wife!

Preheat your oven to 180'C or 190'C if you've not got a fan assisted oven.

Ingredients:
150g couscous
2tsp cinamon
1tsp mixed spice
350ml Boiling water
2 desert apples or a large cooking apple - peeled and chopped.
4tbsp sweetener
150g sultanas

Equipment
Big enough pyrex dish.  If you've not got pyrex, use greaseproof paper to line a metal container - not grease!
Chopping board
Knife
Measuring jug
Teaspoon and table spoon
Scales

Step 1 Dry mix

The first step is to combine 150g of couscous, 2tsp of cinnamon, 1tsp of nutmeg & 4tbsp of sweetener.

Stir well till the dry mix looks roughly the same colour.

how is it no fat if your adding 2 eggs? Eggs have fat dont they?

It's a fair point, it should really be no added fat - most cakes require a lot of oil/butter etc. This doesn't and is much healthier. Eggs of course do contain high levels of cholesterol, but again most cakes also include eggs as well as the butter/oil etc.

When I first saw the title of this 'ible, I thought "How on earth can that be possible!?", but having read it, it actually sounds very good -- a brilliant alternative to bread! It might also be possible with Millet... I may have to try that some time :) Cheers
