Fruit Bread Fingers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup good-quality vegetable oil or 1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup carrots (I use both) or 3/4 cup apple, grated (I use both)
2 small bananas, mashed
2/3 cup self-rising flour
1/2 1/2 cup cranberries or 1/2 cup prune
1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated and chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350.
Cream the oil or butter with the honey in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in the egg. Mix in the carrots or apples, bananas and flour (All-purpose flour may be used with 1/2 tsp baking powder); add the raisins, cherries, cranberries, or prunes and zest. Add a little extra flour, if necessary, until spoon stands upright in the mixture.
Turn the mixture into a greased 7in shallow, square cake pan and level the surface. Bake until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes.
Cool slightly, then lightly score into finger-shaped slices using a sharp knife. Cool completely in the pan, then cut into fingers and serve.
