Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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, fresh figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them gently. Avoid figs that are bruised or have blemishes.
Prepare the figs properly: Wash the figs thoroughly and remove the stems. If the figs are large, you can cut them into quarters or eighths.
Use a good quality bread recipe: There are many different bread recipes that you can use for this recipe. Choose a recipe that you like and that produces a light and fluffy loaf of bread.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the bread rise in a warm place: The bread should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
Bake the bread at a high temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 15 minutes. This will create a crispy crust. Then, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
