Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the mixed dried fruits, making sure they are well-coated with the flour mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
In a separate bowl, whisk the brown sugar, egg, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the fruit bread and serve. Enjoy it plain or with your favorite dairy-free spread.
