This gluten-free dried fruit loaf tastes amazing with a cup of tea and reminds me of fruit cakes my Grandma used to make. My Grandma was an avid baker and made homemade cinnamon buns, cookie and cakes all the time. In fact, we had a baked goodie for breakfast everyday. A delicious memory for sure. One of many food memories of my dear Grandma. I miss her a lot.

Easy to make, flavourful and pairs perfectly with your morning coffee or tea. I love to have a slice of the gluten-free dried fruit loaf after I come back from my 2 hour walks. A huge mug of earl grey tea latte, a slice of gluten-free loaf, a bit of butter and a dollop of raspberry jam is ideal.
