SEED RUSKS FOR DIABETICS
So nice anyone can eat them. They have a low GI value, contain no sugar and little fat.
- 750 ml (3 cups) self raising flour
- 500 ml (2 cups) digestive bran
- 250 ml (1 cup) oats (I used the large flake Jungle Oats)
- pinch of salt
- 250 ml Xylitol
- 100 g seed mix (sesame, flax, sunflower and pumpin)
- 125 g butter or margarine
- 400 ml low fat milk or yogurt (I used Amasi)
- 2 eggs whisked
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) grape vinegar
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) bicarbonate of soda
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Grease a 25 x 20 cm baking tin* with non-stick spray. Mix the flour, bran, oats and salt well.
Add the Xylitol and seeds.
Rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture look like fine breadcrumbs.
Note:
I rubbed the butter into the flour before adding the bran, oats, Xylitol and seeds, its just easier to rub.
Mix the milk or yogurt (or Amasi), eggs, vinegar and bicarb and add to the flour mixture.
Mix well to form a soft sticky dough.
Spoon into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top. I sprinkled with extra sesame seeds.
Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until a testing skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow to cool slightly in the tin. Turn out on a baking sheet and cool completely. Cut into squares.
Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and dry overnight in the oven at 100C. Store in an airtight container.
Note: *I baked in a medium sized loaf tin and cut into fingers to dry.

Kan ek my eie bran beskuit van en net suiker verlang met xilotol en wag van rosyntjies. Man is vasgestel dat hy nou diabeet is.
Ongelukkig nie, Diabete moet maar by hulle dieetkundige uitvind wat en hoe hulle hulle lewenstyl moet aanpas, maar die meel is net so gevaarlik vir hulle soos die suiker, so om net die suiker te verander gaan nie alleen goed genoeg wees nie. Hier is baie mense op die groep wat dit so doen, maar omdat ons nie mediese raad mag gee nie, stel ek voor dat elke persoon maar moet besluit of die resep vir hom of haar geskik gaan wees. Jammer ek kan nie van meer hulp wees nie.
Can you supply a rusk recipe using Tantalise liquid sweetenervous please?
Hi Jenny, you can only replace the xylitol with your sweetner. On the sweetner container is normally a convertion… otherwise just add a little and taste and add till the sweetness is fine with you. We are not Dr’s and cannot give recipes or advice to diabetic people. If you use our recipe from our website, it is on your own risk. Hope you understand and that the rusks came out lovely.
