Fat-Free Fruit Loaf
There are many recipes for this type of loaf – the secret is soaking the fruit overnight in the tea, so that it becomes really moist. This recipe only uses a mug as a measure, doesn’t matter what size – as long as you use the same one for all the ingredients.
This is very tasty spread with mashed banana or a little jam or marmalade.
