Manx Bunloaf (Isle of Man) image

Made without eggs, this is a 200year-old recipe for a delicious rich, moist fruit loaf. The area and the Cumbrian coast was at that time a haunt of smugglers who brought in spices and exotics as well as rum, brandy and tobacco, and cooks made the most of it.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy bread. I love that it uses oats, which makes it a bit healthier than traditional white bread. The flavor is also really nice, with a hint of sweetness from the honey.

This was my first time making a bunloaf and it came out great! I was worried that it would be too dry, but it was actually really moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
