Ingredients

Almond Streusel

  • 1/3 cup almonds toasted, chopped, optional
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Fig Lemon Quick Bread

  • 1 1/2 cup Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs stemmed and chopped
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest finely grated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Generously coat 9-x-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°.

Almond Streusel

  • In small bowl combine 1/3 cup chopped almonds, 1/3 cup all purpose flour and 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar. Stir in 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.

Fig Lemon Quick Bread

  • Place figs in medium bowl. Cover with boiling water; let sit 30 minutes. Drain figs, reserving liquid. Return liquid to bowl; whisk in melted butter, egg and lemon zest.
  • In separate large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix liquids into dry ingredients, stirring just until blended. Stir in figs and almonds. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle streusel evenly over top.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until pick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Run sharp knife around edge of pan and remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool completely. Wrap airtight and store at room temperature or freeze.
