  4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and fold until just combined.

  • Vegan

    • 125 g Dairy-free spread instead of salted butter
    • 20 g Ground flaxseed instead of large eggs
    • 80 g Coconut yoghurt instead of greek yoghurt

    Mix the flaxseed with 75 ml water and leave it 5 minutes to thicken before whisking it in where the eggs went; the loaf may need 5 to 10 minutes longer, so check with a skewer.

  • Gluten-free

    • 250 g Gluten-free plain flour instead of plain flour

    Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking so the gluten-free flour hydrates; it may need a few extra minutes, so check with a skewer.

  • Dairy-free

    • 125 g Dairy-free spread instead of salted butter
    • 80 g Coconut yoghurt instead of greek yoghurt
