Lemon Fig Quick Bread - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup fig preserves
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon lemon infused olive oil
3/4 cup sugar
5 small dried figs, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
Preparation
-
Mix fig preserves, yogurt, and milk together.
Whisk the eggs, and blend into the milk mixture.
Add cooled butter and olive oil, then mix in sugar.
Toss the chopped figs into a small amount of flour, and mix into mixture, followed by baking soda and salt.
Mix in flour; this should produce a thick but still loose batter, like for muffins or cornbread.
Pour into a greased and floured 8\"x4\" loaf pan and bake at 350f for 25 minutes. Turn pan at this point, and bake for a minimum of 25 more minutes. Loaf is done when a sharp knife stuck into the top comes out clean.
Rest loaf in pan on cake rack for 30 to 45 minutes, then turn out and allow to cool completely.
If you cannot find lemon infused olive oil, use a tablespoon of regular olive oil and the zest of one lemon.
