Freekeh (green spelt), chai, coconut oil and fresh figs come together in this moist, rustic whole grain quick bread that's easy to make and very delicious. You can make this in a muffin form and top each with a sliced fig or nuts.

Hi Angie, your bread looks nice and moist. I think the figs passed me by this year, usually I have eaten a bunch by now, but I haven't even had one. The weather here has had a lot of the crops off though. Hope it is good where you are and that you have had a good week. I blinked and mine disappeared.

Wow, I would never have thought of combining freekeh and figs, nor making a bread of freekeh. This looks gorgeous and sounds delicious!
Perfect timing, Angie. I have figs that need to be used up and I can't think of a better fate for them. (Although they may have to wait until I've made the Apple Streusel Bread first - love the little mini treats.)
I could live only on figs! Your loaf looks delicious and beautifully presented. Lovely baking Angie!
Lovely! This is like Christmas fruitcake with a twist, plus healthier and chunkier, too! I already want a slice, or two!
