Combining prunes, dates, and nuts together in a spiced quickbread is a way to offer an afternoon pick-me-up that comes with the benefit providing fiber and tangy sweetness from the dried fruit.

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 375°F  (190°C) and lightly oil an 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10-cm) loaf pan.

    Mix together oats, flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cloves, and nutmeg.

    In another bowl, combine dates, prunes, and nuts. In a larger bowl, mix yogurt, eggs, and butter.

    Add flour mixture to yogurt mixture. Add 3/4 of the fruit-nut mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Top with remaining fruit-nut mixture.

    Bake for 30 minutes, then cover the top loosely with foil and continue to bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 30 to 40 more minutes. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
