On the 23rd of August we finally met Biddi Possum's baby!
We’ve been watching Biddi in anticipation these past weeks as her pouch has grown and now look at her sweet baby back rider!
Biddi came to us as just a tiny pouch young herself after being separated from her mum when their nest tree was lopped.
Fast forward two years - Biddi calls the Valley’s jarrah forest home, and is now raising a youngster of her own!
Well done Biddi!
These little puddings are delicious warmed and served with icecream. Gooey underneath, they have a yummy crunchy top.

Topping:

- Combine the flour, soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine the egg replacer, oil and brown sugar and stir. Then add this mix to the oats and soy milk and mix.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients together and mix well.
