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.

inspired by this
  • 2 tsp Chai mix
  • 240 ml Freshly boiled water
  • 250 g Whole freekeh berries, ground into flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 60 g Raw brown sugar
  • 100 g Coconut oil
  • 2 Fresh figs, diced
  1. Place chai mix in a large cup. Pour the freshly boiled water directly over the mix and brew approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper. Whisk the ground freekeh, baking powder, salt and raw sugar.
  3. In another mixing bowl, stir together the brewed chai and coconut oil until well combined. Add in flour mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth. Fold in chopped fresh figs.

    I've added freekeh in many recipes but never thought of making a bread out of it. This is creative Angie! I love freeke's texture and I'm sure that this was a delicious loaf. I have to make it :)

    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.
