If you happen to be lucky enough to have fig trees in your yard or have a friend who does you’ve probably come across an abundance of fig trees and wondered what to do with them other than eat them out of hand or add them to salads. Consider this fig bread a viable option especially since the recipe makes two loaves meaning you can eat one and freeze one or eat one and share the other.

How to make easy homemade fig bread
Quick bread is risen with baking powder or soda so you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise like you would with traditional yeast bread. This fig bread will also save you time at the store because it’s made with basic ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Brown Turkey and Black Mission are common varieties and are likely to be found fresh in your local grocery store when they are in season (late summer and early fall). Other varieties include Calimyrna and Kadota. Each has its own unique flavor profile with some being sweeter or spicier than others.
Try these easy substitutions and serving suggestions to make this recipe your own. Substitute 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Use regular or light olive oil instead of vegetable oil for an even moister loaf. Spread softened butter or whipped cream cheese on a warm or toasted slice for a delicious breakfast or snack.
