Apple sponge pudding

So. I had a tin of apple pie filling to use up. And vanilla cake mix. The two were perfect for one another. Literally all I had to do was pour the batter over a bowl of apple and cook it in the microwave for a couple of minutes.

Let them eat chocolate cake

This was made by mixing 100 g of the cheapest brand of chocolate cake mix with about half a cup of coke zero, then microwaving it in a heart shaped container. The mixture expanded to twice the size in the microwave after just a couple of minutes. I poured sugar free chocolate syrup on top.

Apple cinnamon pudding

This is basically a mug pudding. Only, unlike a mug cake, I am doing several things differently. Firstly, I'm using a bowl. This is much easier than using mug because there is more surface area and less chance of having uncooked batter and overly hard crust. Secondly, the batter is simply wholemeal self-raising flour mixed with hot water (although soda also works well), I have swirled stewed and drained apple, sultana and cinnamon into the batter.

When upturned, the pudding retains its structure enough to be eaten off a plate. Success!

My unashamed favourite breakfast: Chocolate weetabix

Weetabix are normally consumed slightly crumbled up (to fit in the bowl), cold, along with full cream milk and perhaps bananas. Right? Not in my world! I like to dissolve my weetabix into a mixture of sweeteners and cocoa. Then top it with more chocolate. 

As shown, I have topped my weetabix creation off with crushed oreo (actually, I used Delta Creams, but Oreo sounds cooler). When the weetabix have dissolved, I think they might bear a resemblance to the American cereal "cream of wheat." When left to chill overnight, the meal resembles one of those wheat puddings that were popular in the 1950s. Only it's not boring vanilla flavour, and the chocolate somewhat disguises the fact that you are eating a cereal rather than a pudding.

In fact, there are "rum ball" recipes that call for crushed up weetabix in exactly the same way. Exept for the fact that there is also chocolate mud cake, butter and rum essence in there.
