This has been prompted by my recent convo with summergurl! Thought we could share our recipes and introduce each other to one's we've not tried before?
I'll start the ball rolling, here's a morning fruit loaf recipe: :drool: think it makes around 12 slices. Sorry if something similar has been done before, but couldn't find anything xx
You'll need:
50g Allbran cereal
300ml skimmed milk
225g wholemeal self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
90g sultanas
50g dried apricots (diced)
50g pitted prunes (diced)
75g dark muscavado sugar
4 tablespoons of floral honey
Method:
put bran cereal in a bowl, pour over the milk and soak for 30 mins
preheat oven to 180 or Gas 4
sift flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in bran cereal misture, together with any bran left in the sieve. Stir in dried fruit, sugar and honey - mix well.
spoon mixture into a non-stick 900g loaf tin (bursh tin with oil to prevent sticking) and level the top. bake for 1hr - 1.15mins or until loaf cooked and golden brown on top.
Allow loaf to cool a little in the tin before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. The loaf will store for several weeks.
NOTE: I couldn'd find S/R wholemeal flour so put a tsp of yeast in it. Also, I substituted the prunes/apricots for dried apple and some more sultanas. This was a very yummy alternative to the original recipe. Yum Yum! 170 cal per slice, less than 1g fat, zero saturated, 4g's protein and 38g carbs, Low GI rating
