Weight Watchers Banana nut bread

Banana's, not fat, are what give this dense loaf its moist texture.  Toast it and serve with a glass of fat-free milk for a speedy breakfast or snack.  
 Makes 12 servings 

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salf
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
8 dried dates, chopped
6 dried apricot halves, chopped
1 large egg
1 very ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup milk

1.     Preheat the oven to 350F; spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. 
2.     In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; stir in the walnuts, dates and apricots.  In a small bowl, beat the egg; add the banana and milk. Pour over the flour mixture; stir until just blended (do not overmix). 
3.     Transfer to the pan.  Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.  Cool completely on a rack.
