Dairy and Yeast Free Healthy Spiced Fruit Bread Buns

FAT FREE - EGG FREE - NO ADDED SUGAR - DAIRY FREE - YEAST FREE

Just four simple ingredients to make these delicious spiced fruit bread buns!

No scales required just a set of measuring cups and spoons!

If you don't have measuring cups don't worry, you can use a normal cup or mug as long as you use the same one for all the measurements. The bigger the cup/mug the more buns you make

I used a small mug and made 9 buns

The recipe does say white self-raising flour, but I tried it with half wholemeal flour and half white self- raising flour. Having made these buns both ways, I found using all white self-raising flour gives you a lighter and better rise to the buns as I found the wholemeal makes the buns heavier and they didn't seem to rise as much. The wholemeal also has that distinct taste of wholegrain. So it's a personal preference to what flour you decide to use.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups of self-raising flour

1 cup of mixed dried fruit

1 cup of water

1 - 1 ½ tsp mixed spice

1 tsp baking powder (optional)

METHOD

Preheat oven 190ºc / 170º fan

Grease a bun or muffin tray

Put all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and give a quick mix

Add the water to the dry mixture, stir until everything is combined

Pour mixture evenly into your prepared tray

Bake in oven on middle shelf for approx 25-30 minutes or until baked

Once baked carefully place on a wire rack

Enjoy as they are or spread with butter
