Healthy May - Week 2

Well, week two has been okay, although I didn't achieve many of the things I set out to do last week... just stress and being busy and whatnot. But I do have an awesome recipe to share with you :) Hope you all had a good week two :)

WALNUT AND FRUIT LOAF

Makes 2 loaves (24 slices)

Ingredients:

½ cup sultanas

½ cup chopped dried apricots

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup hot water

400g can lite sweetened condensed milk

½ cup golden syrup

3 cups wholemeal flour

½ cup chopped walnuts

Method:

·         Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Line 2 loaf tins.

·         Place sultanas, apricots and baking soda in large bowl, stir in hot water.

·         Add condensed milk and golden syrup. Stir until combined.

·         Add flour and walnuts, stir until well combined.

·         Spoon mixture into loaf tins. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.

·         Allow to cool in the tin. Turn out of tin and slice to serve.

*Tip: Cut into slices once cooled, wrap each indivudual slice in gladwrap and freeze so it doesn't go stale and you can take a peice whenever you need to. Great for when you sleep in and you miss breakfast - grab a slice, chuck it in your bag, and by the time you get to work it's defrosted and you have a healthy breakfast!
