Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Fruit Recipes Healthy Fig Recipes Fig Bread 2.7 (3) 3 Reviews Sweet, soft and figgy, this quick bread is reminiscent of a Fig Newton cookie. If you happen to have an abundance of figs, this fig bread recipe is a delicious, creative way to use them up. And just as too-ripe bananas make the best banana bread, very ripe figs are ideal here.
