You know we love our banana bread! How clever to adapt it for other fruits as well. This sounds tasty – especially with that confectioner’s sugar dusted over the top!

Sweet breads are so great, aren’t they? We make them all the time. But not prune bread! Hadn’t thought about that. But trust me, we’ll make it. 😉
Oh, great looking loaf!

Youre welcome! Hoepfully you can share your experience and a photo of what you made when you make this 🙂
Do you mash the prunes? Dice them? Soak them first to rehydrate?
Just roughly chop them, no need to re-hydrate.
Thanks for asking
Is the “1 tsp ground cinnamon” added to the batter? Or mixed with confectioners sugar and sprinkled on top?
Ooops apologies I forgot to add it in the instructions, will update the recipe soon. But meanwhile, yes it is added in the batter.
How much flour? It’s not stated. My childhood memory of a prune is something that has to be softened in water, but where I now live the prunes are sold really soft, barely past the plum stage. How would you rate your “prunes”?
