Blackberry-Apple Protein Loaf

This looks so simple but it's one of my favourite ever recipes! Another warming winter recipe - Apple & Blackberry Loaf. I'm loving warm cakes with cold custard at the moment & this one is a personal favourite of mine, not least because the whole loaf is only 573 calories....I actually ate a whole one for breakfast yesterday (don't judge me, I had a tough workout..).

15g sweetener of choice (I used Sukrin Gold)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180c.

2. Place all "cake" ingredients (except blackberries) into a food processor/mixer & mix well. 3. Stir in the blackberries by hand.

4. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

5. Pour the mix into the tin & bake in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes.

Happy eating! :-)
