Place the All Bran, sugar, mixed spice and dried fruit into a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly.  Stir in the milk and leave the mixture to stand for 30mins.

Stir in the courgettes and sift the flour.  Mix well and then spoon the mixture into the loaf tin, level the surface with the back of a spoon.  Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Transfer the load to a cooling rack and allow to cool before cutting

As there is no fat in this tea bread it will only last for up to 3 days so wrap it well and and store in a cool place.
