This truly is a no-hassle bread. It is as simple as creating a wet mixture and a dry mixture and combining them.
Wet Mixture: in a small mixing bowl, combine the milk and cider. Then add the agave and oil and whisk thoroughly. Finally, stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
Dry Mixture: start by sifting the two flours into a large mixing bowl. Then add the spices and the leavening agents. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Create a well in the dry mixture and simply pour the wet into the well. Stir rigorously until the batter is rather sticky.
Then chop the figs, dates, and apricots into bite-size pieces and fold into the batter along with the cranberries.
Place batter in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan and drop on counter a few times, as you would a cake. Bake at 300 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Perfect for spreading some Christmas cheer, top with cream cheese, butter, or a scoop of ice cream and enjoy this healthy decadence! Say good-bye to fruit cake!
