    • Cooking time: 50 minutes to 60 minutes

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    Butter, for greasing and serving
    3 essential Waitrose Original
    Blend Tea Bags
    100g sultanas
    115g light brown muscovado sugar
    2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
    100g bran flakes cereal
    1 courgette, about 125g, coarsely grated
    100g Waitrose Spelt Flour
    ½ tsp baking powder

    Method

    2. Put the tea bags in a large mixing bowl with 200ml boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Squeeze out and discard the tea bags.

    3. Add the sultanas, sugar, mint and cereal to the bowl and stir to mix. Leave to stand for 15 minutes until the cereal is soft.

    4. Stir in the courgette, flour and baking powder and transfer to the tin. Bake for about 50–60 minutes or until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve sliced, with butter.
