A comforting and flavorful Fig Bread made with ripe figs and warm spices, perfect for brunch or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mashed ripe figs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Cream together softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until it’s just combined. Gently fold in the mashed figs and nuts, if you’re using them.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
