Ingredients
- 225 g raisins - or mixed dried fruit

- 1 tsp cinnamon - not required if using chai tea like I did
Instructions
- Place the raisins, salt, bicarbonate of soda and boiling tea or water into a large bowl and leave to soak for around 20 minutes
- Add the flour, psyllium, sugar and cinnamon and mix until well combined
- Place into a greased 1lb loaf tin and bake in a pre-heated oven at 190 degrees C (170 degree fan) for around 40 minutes until golden
- Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and allowing to cool completely
- Alternatively slice and enjoy while hot
