The most deliciously moist Fig Banana Bread straight from the oven.....it smells amazing!
Ingredients:
4 small very ripe bananas
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ripe figs, quartered
6 ripe figs, diced
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour (or 1 cup white flour 1 cup whole wheat flour)
Preparation:
In a large bowl beat together coconut oil, brown sugar, bananas and vanilla until combined well. Add to the mixture 6 figs which have been quartered and beat into the mixture until they are broken down and part of the batter. Next, beat in eggs until combined. Sprinkle in baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix. Add flour one cup at a time until batter is smooth. Lastly to add more fig flavor and texture mix in the final 6 figs that you have diced. Mix these in with a spoon to avoid breaking them up completely. Pour batter into a loaf pan that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray ( I use coconut oil spray). Bake at 350 degrees F until bread is set in the middle, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool before slicing.
A fig and banana loaf sounds delightful. I like the combination.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing that you discovered your fig tree in your backyard. I have one too, it produces beautiful figs once a year.
