Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pitted prunes
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Chop the pitted prunes into smaller pieces. Optionally, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs and honey together until well combined. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  5. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture, stirring gently until just mixed; it's okay if there are some lumps.
  6. Fold in the chopped prunes and pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
  7. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
