Recipe for Fig Bread

A (moderately) healthy recipe in which most of the sweetness comes from the figs. I love it.

Dough:

150 g dried figs

2 eggs

1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon 

60 g brown sugar

1⁄2 package baking powder

1 pinch of salt 

50 g apple puree (Apfelmus)

50 g butter (or alternatively vegetable oil i.e. sunflower, rapeseed (Rapsöl) or coconut oil)

60 g joghurt 

30 ml water

1 tablespoon grounded almonds

100 g spelt flour (Dinkelmehl)

100 g wheat flour (Weizenmehl)

(or just 200 g wheat flour)

appr. 20 g chopped pecans or walnuts

For the decoration:

1 - 2 fresh figs, sliced

Preparation :

Heat the oven to 160 °C.

Chop figs and together with apple puree, joghurt and water puree figs in mixer, then put in big bowl and together with all other ingredients (save nuts) mix to a homogenous dough, then fold in the chopped pecans/walnuts. 

Put dough in a small fattened springform or loaf pan (cake tin, rectangular) and decorate wird fig slices.

Put in oven and bake for 40 minutes, then control with the aid of a stick if it is done. If dough still sticks to the stick, bake for another 5 minutes. Take out, let cool and serve.
