Apricot Oat Fruit Bread

This bread exceeded by expectations by quite alot! It was delicious and rose beautifully. It had a great texture and was easy to cut - I'll never buy fruit bread again. Will vary my fruit and use as a base from now on. I made a few changes - used wholemeal atta flour and 6g bread improver, and subbed 1/2 cup of the flour with LSA mix. Also used apple instead of orange juice because that's what i had. I made it using a kitchenaid mixer, let it rise once, gave it another short knead and then let rise in the pan. Baked it on 200 degrees for about 1/2 hr. I would not bother again with the honey glaze as it was sticky and messy. Took it on a weekend away with friends and was loved by all. Thanks kristen99 for a great recipe.  -  12 May 2013

Thank you for this delicious recipe. I've made it twice & it's come out beautifully every time. I didn't put honey on the second loaf though as it makes the crust too sticky. I also used orange & mango juice as its all I had. This will definitely be a regular in our house now. I'm considering doing a version with dried pineapple & maybe coconut. Best fruit loaf recipe! I highly recommend trying it. Thanks again kristen99  -  05 Sep 2016

I followed the recipe exactly and thought it turned out great! Has a light sweetness with the apricots and honey glaze. I'll definitely be making this one again! Easy to fix and turned out great in my machine.  -  05 Jul 2009  (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
