As well as using quality, real food ingredients, I'm all about efficiency in the kitchen! Mixing bowls and a spoon is all you need to make this yummy and healthy loaf.
You can experiment with different fruits like apples or raspberries and walnuts or pecans also taste delicious. This recipe doesn't contain any refined, sugars refined flour so you can avoid that insulin spike that store bought cakes can give.
I am a big fan of Rapadura sugar, it is a unrefined cane sugar which is dried at low temperatures to maintain nutritional properties and there is no other processing involved. Unlike other sugars that can be highly processed, refined and bleached.
