Date and Fig Quick Bread image

A bit unusual but good all the same. You may substitute plumped raisins for the figs if you like. You may also use Splenda®. To prevent crumbling, use finely diced dates or boil whole dates for 10 minutes before chopping. Serve with cream cheese.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
1 cup chopped dried figs
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 cup boiling water
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix dates, figs, butter, and baking soda together in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the date mixture. Let sit for figs to slightly rehydrate, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir sugar, walnuts, and eggs into date mixture. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into date mixture until batter is just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

The recipe is missing some important information. It doesn't say how long to bake the bread or at what temperature.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
