OM NOM NOM! VERY tasty! Had a piece still warm from the oven and it was wonderful. A slight hint of raspberry (from the yogurt), a lovely dense loaf and the texture of the craisins and oats works for me. (And notice the very good dog in the background too!)

Looks lovely Alix but what on earth are craisins?

 

[Alix]

Dried Cranberries.

I just looked up "low fat" designation and it says it must be less than 3g of fat per serving size to be considered low fat. This stuff qualifies!

Thanks We don't get that brand in SA, thought it might be a fruit I don't know.
I have all the ingredients, think I'll try your recipe before the weekend

 

[Alix]

Do you get dried cranberries at all?

Alix - this looks amazing and the pic is inspiring - I am making this today. Are "large flake oats" plain old-fashioned rolled oats?

 

[Alix]

I think they are the same, but there is a difference in packaging at the grocery store. Just use what you have. I just don't think you'd get the same chewiness from quick oats.

Oh, I love it when the dog helps!
