Healthy Hints

This recipe uses porrige oats in place of regular flour. Oats are a source of whole grain, and eating more whole grain is important for heart health. The other good news is that each cake is low in both total fat and saturated fats. You also get 2 grams of fibre from a serving, which is about the same amount found in an apple.
