*** You can make this in a 9 x 13 in pan, double the recipe and check if cooked through after around 35 – 40 minutes.

You can also use this recipe (same quantity ingredients as the regular loaf) to make 12 muffins, bake at the same temperature for between 30 – 35 minutes. The photo below was taken by Alison North who baked her muffins to take to a work party!

Cathy Kopp also shares some photos of her bake which she decided to enter in to a competition! She came 3rd so many congratulations!

 

Serve warm or cooled, it’s delicious either way! Enjoy!

****UPDATE**** Following feedback, please note the cook time may be a little longer so please check after the recommended cook time to see if the centre of the loaf is cooked through. If not, just keep it in the oven at the same temperature for a little longer and it will be fine!
