Ingredients

  • ½ cup mashed figs plus 1-2 more for topping
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or oil
  • ¼ cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • ⅔ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (180 grams) whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add mashed figs, eggs, yogurt, coconut sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be sure not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into a parchment lined 8.5 inch loaf pan. Add a few fig slices on top to make the loaf pretty.
  6. Bake loaf for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle of the bread. I recommend covering the loaf with foil around the 20 minute mark to make sure the bread doesn’t get too brown on top. Also note that baking times may vary, so keep an eye on the bread.
  7. Allow loaf to cool for 15 minutes in the loaf pan before removing. Allow loaf to cool completely on a wire rack (about 15 additional minutes) before serving.
  8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days at room temperature. For longer storage, you can store in the fridge for 5-7 days or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Flour: If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour you can also use white whole wheat flour, a blend of all-purpose and regular whole wheat flour or just regular all-purpose flour.
  • Coconut sugar: If you don't have coconut sugar on hand, brown sugar will work as well.
  • Make it dairy-free: If you need this recipe to be dairy-free I bet using a dairy-free yogurt would work just fine.
