Low Syn Sticky Gingerbread Traybake

It’s November which means it’s basically Christmas already right!? Ok, well maybe not but I’m already getting excited for the festive season which means it’s time for the Christmas baking to start in earnest with this Low Syn Sticky Gingerbread Traybake. This time of year is all about family, friends, togetherness and food, and for me, that means plenty of get-togethers that involve lots of cake! That can be a bit tricky when you’re trying to be healthy, and the Christmas period is full of enough temptation without having it at home too. That’s why a bake like this can make all the difference, helping you stay on plan without compromising on flavour or enjoyment! 

A Slimming World Christmas Recipe

Whilst you could happily enjoy this Low Syn Sticky Gingerbread Traybake at any time of year, it goes without saying that it has a distinctly Christmas-y vibe to it. Gingerbread is a festive staple and I love that I can still enjoy holiday treats without adding to the inevitable sense of holiday guilt that hits me post-Christmas (if you also struggle with post-Christmas guilt then this article might help!)

This Low Syn Sticky Gingerbread Traybake is not only filled with tasty Christmas flavours, but it’s also made with real ingredients! It doesn’t need 12 whisked egg whites to rise…it’s a proper cake that has simply been carefully created to help you stick to your Slimming World plan because guess what… It works out at ONE SYN PER SLICE! The syn value breaks down as follows: 

2tbsp Golden Syrup – 5 syns

1tbsp Black Treacle – 2 syns

75g Self Raising Flour – 12 syns

3x Eggs – syn free

3tsp Ground Ginger – syn free

1tsp Baking Powder – 1/2 syn

1tbsp Sunflower Oil – 6 syns 

To save you the maths, this makes the whole cake 26 syns in total. It easily cuts into 24 squares (it’s quite rich so they’re the perfect size and could even be made smaller if you wanted) so that’s just a tiny bit over 1 syn each. Not bad for a real cake! However many pieces you get from this cake, just make sure that you divide the total number of syns (26) by the number of slices you cut. 

Christmas on Slimming World doesn’t need to be a disaster for your losses, I promise! It is so easy to find yourself unmotivated and disheartened when surrounded with endless chocolates, big meals and nights out with work, but when you think about all of the days between now and Christmas those really don’t make up more than say…20% of the time right?! If you think of it like that, then you can easily stick to plan 80% of the time, which should at the very least help you balance your gains and losses. Combine that with recipes like this Low Syn Sticky Gingerbread Traybake, you may find yourself more in control than you previously thought!
