When my husband and I found out he had high colesterol and I was a borderline diabetic we knew we had to change our diets. The only thing was we love cakes and desserts. As a result this fruit loaf was created. We love it and I even make one a week for my dad as he is also a diabetic. (Please note full diabetics should take into consideration their daily intake of fruit when eating this loaf.) Ingredients:
1 cup pitted dates |
1 cup sultana |
1/4 cup splenda sugar substitute or 1/4 cup sugar substitute |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups self raising flour |
1 cup walnuts |
1 egg |
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt |
Directions:
1. Combine dates, sultanas, baking soda, SPLENDA and water in a saucepan.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes.
3. Cool.
4. Mix together the flour, walnuts, egg and yoghurt and then add the cooled fruit mixture.
5. Place the mixture in a loaf/bread tin that has been sprayed or coated with light olive oil.
6. Cook in a moderate oven 160 celcius (fan forced) or 170 (normal).
