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

- Place chai mix in a large cup. Pour the freshly boiled water directly over the mix and brew approximately 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper. Whisk the ground freekeh, baking powder, salt and raw sugar.
- 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.
- Pour the batter into the prepare baking pan. Place the fig slices on the top of the batter and press them down gently. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar if desired.

ReplyDeleteHi 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.
