Traditional flavors with an updated flair: Yoghurt lends a lighter texture to the batter and papaya makes a cameo appearance for a festive tang.

Ingredient List

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup from 1 tub Mountain High™ Original Plain Whole Milk Yoghurt
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup chopped dried papaya
1/2 cup diced dried apricots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped almonds

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat oil, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a medium bowl about 1 minute on medium speed. Add yoghurt and mix until well combined. Reduce speed to low and add one half of the flour mixture, allowing it to become incorporated into the batter. Add remaining flour and mix until just incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl. Fold in the fruit and nuts.
Transfer to a greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours before slicing.

Tips

Feel free to use Mountain High™ Plain Low Fat Yoghurt instead of Mountain High™ Original Plain Whole Milk Yoghurt, if you'd like.
