Fruit and nut loaf. Scientists have found a correlation between eating nuts and a decrease in risk for cancer, heart disease and respiratory disease. This high-fibre, high-protein, low-fat loaf is great for a healthy dessert or afternoon snack. This loaf is a cake with lots of dried fruits (raisins, dried cranberries, dried cherries, dates, figs, prunes, and apricots) and nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, and/or hazelnuts) with just enough batter to hold it all together.

My latest loaf is somewhat akin to a fruit and nut bar in bread form, although the chocolate is subtle and comes from cacao nibs baked into the loaf.

Instructions Fruit and nut loaf

First heat up the oven to 325F.
Now in a big mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients except the fruit, mix everything slowly for a few seconds.
Now add all the rest of the ingredients except the milk.
Now we add the milk slowly as we are mixing and keep mixing for an additional 3-5 min at low sped.
Now grease up a 28x18 baking pan and add the mixture in it. I like to grease the pan with shortening it helps to give a little crisp to the loaf and put it in the oven or 40-50 min.
Enjoy. Kali orexi.

Gluten-free, stuffed with your favourite dried fruits and richly sweetened with brown sugar, it's irresistible. The resulting cake is soft and fruity. By soaking the nuts, they are soft enough to slice through (as can be seen in the photo). I make a cinnamon raisin nut bread that folks like around here. I make a sweet dough, knead it and add cinnamon chips, nuts and raisins.
