Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c cashews, unsalted coarsely chopped
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 Tbsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 c butter, unsalted, melted & cooled
1 1/2 c fresh figs (about six figs) chopped or pureed
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in middle of the oven. Lightly grease and flour a 9"x5"x3" loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon and cashews. Set aside. In a measuring jar or another bowl, combine the figs, eggs, melted butter and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon. Now lightly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients (with the rubber spatula or wooden spoon) just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky, you do not want it smooth. Do not overmix the batter otherwise the bread will be rubbery and tough. Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool, for about 10-15 minutes and then remove from the pan. You can enjoy this bread warm, fresh from the oven or you can also freeze it.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe figs: Look for figs that are plump and soft, with no blemishes. The figs should also have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Wash the figs thoroughly: Before using the figs, wash them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use parchment paper: When baking the bread, line the baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Easy Fresh Fig Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste from the figs.
