It’s loaf ‘thyme’ with this lime, passionfruit and herb infused bread. Did we mention it’s sugar-free?

Get baking with this zesty lime loaf that even an amateur baker can make. It’s fresh and packed with an overdose of vitamin C. Not to mention that it is super scrumptious at the same time.

If you’re feeling over these winter blues and ready to get those taste buds into full swing, this loaf will remind you that Spring is around the corner.

Like so many breads that are filled with sugar, this is really a great alternative as all the sweetness comes directly from the fruit.
