Recipe Ingredients

Set the oven to 180° C. Coat 6 mini-loaf pans with non-stick baking spray.
Measure the first 9 ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix together with a wooden spoon.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, eggs, essence, honey and orange juice. Pour onto the dry ingredients and mix together well.
Spoon the mixture into each pan, to the top, and bake for 18-20 minutes.
After five minutes, turn the loaves out onto a cake rack and leave to cool completely.
Sieve icing sugar over, and sprinkle a little orange rind onto each.

**Toasted oats are an economical substitute for nuts, in a recipe such as this. Toast oats by shaking them in a dry non-stick frying pan, over medium heat until lightly browned.
Substitute the carrot for peeled and grated butternut for a change. They both contribute Vitamin A along with fibre to the recipe.
