    Fruit & Nut Bread for Holidays or Pantry Raids

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on December 12, 2022 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Everyone needs a good, basic, dried fruit and nut bread for sharing at the holidays, or using up leftover pantry ingredients. And this simple dairy-free recipe is a keeper. It uses basic supplies, and tastes delicious with whatever dried fruits and nuts you have on hand. You can even make it nut-free by substituting seeds or more fruit, if needed.

    Dairy-Free Dried Fruit and Nut Bread Recipe - with Optional Orange Glaze. Includes mini loaf and vegan options.

    Fruit & Nut Bread with Options for Every Taste and Season

    The beauty of this easy quick bread recipe is how versatile it is. You can mix up the dried fruit and nut add ins based on whatever you have on hand, or whatever you are craving. Here are some fun and tasty options that you might want to try.

    • Tropical: Dried and diced mango, papaya and/or pineapple + macadamia nuts or shredded coconut
    • Berry Patch: Dried blueberries and cherries + pecans
    • Summer Fruit: Dried and diced apricots or nectarines + sliced almonds
    • Holiday: Dried cranberries + pistachios
    • Mom’s Best: Raisins + walnuts
    • Spice is Nice: Chopped dried figs and ginger + cashews

    If you aren’t a fan of orange zest, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. And feel free to add some spices, if you like. A teaspoon of ground cinnamon is welcome in almost any sweet loaf recipe!
