Vegan Chai Fig Bread Recipe
This sweet, aromatic bread is perfect on it's own or a total delight when served with hot tea and good company
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups teff flour
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup brewed chai tea (cooled down)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cup evaporated cane juice (you can use brown sugar if you're in a pinch)
- 1 1/2 tsp high-quality vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chopped black mission figs
- 2 whole black mission figs cut in half lengthwise
- 6 sprays coconut oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
- In a mixing bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (except your black mission figs, hold those to the side)
- Then, mix in vanilla extract and coconut oil
- When those are combined, fold in your evaporated cane juice (or brown sugar) and brewed chai tea
- Work the batter gently till all the lumps are gone
- Add chopped mission figs
- Grease a glass baking dish with coconut oil spray (though we like lining ours with parchment paper first and then adding the spray as well—it makes cleanup way easier)
- Pour contents into the baking dish, giving it a few seconds to settle and eliminate air pockets
- Top with halved black mission figs
- Spritz the top with just a bit more coconut oil spray so your figs caramelize nicely
- Bake until lightly browned and batter is set all the way through (approx 25 minutes, but every oven is slightly different)
