Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bananas<\/strong>: Spotty bananas are the sweetest, so use the ripest ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/strong>: Pick your favorite or any neutral-tasting vegetable oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs<\/strong>: Make sure they are at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: I used whole wheat flour for this fig banana bread, but all-purpose flour will work too, or use half-and-half of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: I love adding brown sugar to my fall banana breads<\/a>. Feel free to replace it with regular, raw, or any other sugar you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walnuts<\/strong>: They add a wonderful nutty flavor and texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figs<\/strong>: This recipe works great with dried figs. Fresh figs would be wonderful here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices<\/strong>: A splash of homemade vanilla extract<\/a>, and some cinnamon powder give the fig and walnut bread all the flavor it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Walnut & Fig Banana Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Set your oven to preheat and then grease your loaf pan. I used an 8 by 4 inch one.
Step 2: <\/strong>In a large bowl, add the ripe bananas and mash with a fork.
Step 3:<\/strong> Mix in the oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Add the brown sugar and mix well.
Step 4:<\/strong> Sift in the flour, salt, cinnamon powder, and baking soda.
Step 5:<\/strong> Combine everything until just moistened. Don\u2019t overmix.
Step 6:<\/strong> Fold in chopped walnuts and figs.
Step 7:<\/strong> Pour the walnut banana fig bread batter into the prepared pan.
Step 8:<\/strong> Bake for about 45\u201350 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
