Oatmeal Toad in the Hole/BBB5

4 Comments

oatmeal Toad in the Hole

I love Yorkshire puddings and I adore good sausages …so why wouldn’t I like a Toad in the Hole? Well because sometimes the sausages are high in fat and greasy; the batter is the same; and the nutritional stats don’t add up. This is a recipe that addresses those shortcomings…it’s much lower in fat than you can ever imagine; has a light and crispy batter that every Yorkshire girl yearns for; has added nutrition with oats; and I have found most bariatrics can tolerate this. You can add some mustard to the mix to give an extra kick or even a sprinkle of fresh or dried herbs for some more flavour. Whatever you choose to do it will be a winner and a great Bariatric Budget Busting recipe…I serve mine with a few low-sugar and low-fat baked beans!

 

OATMEAL TOAD IN THE HOLE

Ingredients

Metric/US

low-fat cooking spray

450g/1 lb low-fat sausages

100g plain flour/1 cup all-purpose flour

50g/2 oz medium oatmeal

2 medium eggs, beaten

200ml/generous 1 cup semi-skimmed milk

salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Method

1.  Preheat the oven to 220 c/425 F/gas mark 7.

2.  Generously spritz a small roasting tin/pan with low-fat cooking spray, add the sausages and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.

3.  Meanwhile, place the flour, oatmeal, eggs, milk and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl and whisk very well to make a combined batter. If you’re adding mustard or herbs do so at this stage.

4.  Pour over the sausages and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the sausages and batter are golden and risen.

  1. This is so good. I have trouble with the skin on sausages as well as the fat content so use just the meat still in sausage shape. The difference is hardly noticeable to any one else, but really makes it so much easier to digest for me.

  2. Glad you enjoyed it Elaine – I now make it too with a lovely chicken Heck sausage called Italia which has a very low fat content – you could also remove the skins from this if it proves problematic for you. I think it would also work well with mini low-fat meatballs with herbs and mustard so I am going back to the kitchen next week to give it a whirl! C x

  3. Hi, I’ve never used oatmeal for anything so I’ve just done a bit of research… should I use fine, medium or coarse oatmeal and where can I get it in the uk..eg is it readily available at supermarkets?
    Thank you in anticipation

  4. Hi Joanne, yes you can get oatmeal in the UK and you need medium oatmeal for this. I tracked down Prewetts brand at Holland & Barratt – £1.89 for 750 g; or Mornflake Brand on Ocado for £1.75 for 750 g or the same in Waitrose stores for £1.40 (20% off at the moment). Hope this helps. C x
