Fig Bread

Sweet, soft and figgy, this quick bread is reminiscent of a Fig Newton cookie. If you happen to have an abundance of figs, this fig bread recipe is a delicious, creative way to use them up. And just as too-ripe bananas make the best banana bread, very ripe figs are ideal here.

Ingredients:

  • cooking spray
  • 6 ounces fresh figs, stemmed, chopped and mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (about 8 ounces) white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 1/2- x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together mashed figs, egg, sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk flour mixture into fig mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
