Ingredients
- 2 bananas, mashed
- 5 mashed figs + 2 extra, sliced for topping
- 2 flax eggs (combine 2 tbsp. flax meal + 5 tbsp. water)
- 4.2 oz. (120g) vegan Greek yogurt
- 2.7 oz. (80ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 6.3 oz. (180g) whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. sea salt
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a silicone loaf pan or line a regular loaf pan with baking paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 5 mashed figs, flax eggs, vegan Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour into the loaf pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly distribute the 2 sliced figs over the top.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. To prevent excessive browning, cover the loaf with foil around the 45-minute mark.
- Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing it and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice and serve. This delicious Whole Wheat Fig & Banana Bread is perfect on its own or with a cup of your favorite beverage.
Serving Ideas:
- Spread a bit of almond or peanut butter on slices for added flavor.
