Weeknight baking requires minimal prep and big pay-off, which is why quickbread with figs is one of our favorite kinds of things to bake… and then take the next day to work or to slice up for book club or even to warm up at breakfast the next morning. You’ll love the versatility of these four ideas featuring Orchard Choice and Sun-Maid Mission and Golden Figs in quickbread, starting with banana bread with figs.
Banana Bread with Figs
The simple banana bread gets re-envisioned with the addition of chewy chunks of Mission Figs. This recipe goes a step further, as often walnuts are the nut of choice, here, macadamias add a buttery crunch. Get the recipe.
Chocolate Banana Bread with Figs
For a more traditional banana bread with figs recipe, this is the one to reach for—with a tiny but big addition of chocolate chips. Chocolate is a natural flavor partner to figs and a favorite with bananas too. Here’s a fun twist: during the fall and winter holidays, sometimes grocery stores offer caramel chips, which would be a delicious substitution here. Get the recipe.
Walnut Fig Quickbread
This might be our pick for the most fall-friendly quickbread. It’s got toasted walnuts. It’s got finely chopped Mission Figs for more fig-per-bite ratio. It’s got dark brown sugar. We love this one with hot coffee or steaming mug of chai. Get the recipe.
Fig Cranberry Orange Quickbread
A flavor of winter spice and fruits, fresh cranberries and dried Mission Figs combine with citrus notes for a seasonal favorite quickbread sprinkled with sparkly demerara sugar. Get the recipe.
