How to Make Fruit Bread Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7x7 inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter or oil with 1/2 cup honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup grated carrots or applesauce, 1 ripe mashed banana, and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries, or 1/4 cup chopped prunes, and the zest of 1 orange or lemon.
  6. Add a little extra flour, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, if needed, until the batter is thick enough to hold its shape when a spoon is inserted and stands upright.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  10. Lightly score the bread into finger-shaped slices using a sharp knife while it's still slightly warm.
  11. Let the bread cool completely in the pan before cutting into individual fingers and serving.
