Fruit/nut Loaf Bread Recipe

Fruit and Nut Whole Grain Loaf

1. Begin by combining whole grain flour, a mix of dried fruits (such as raisins or sultanas), and nuts of your choice in a large mixing bowl. 2. In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients including eggs, a natural sweetener (like honey or maple syrup), and a touch of oil. 3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix to keep the loaf tender. 4. Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 6. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
