Found this in the Food & Drink Weekly of the Tribune. I love figs & this sounds like it will be a delicious & healthy caky quick bread. Just the thing toasted for afternoon tea. They noted this recipe was adapted from a Marian Manners recipe that ran on Jan. 26, 1969, in the Los Angeles Times.

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup dried fig, chopped
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup oil

Directions

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. Stir in the pecans, figs and oats. Stir in the milk and oil until incorporated.
3
Pour the mixture into a greased 9-by-5-inch loaf dish.
4
Bake until puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a rack until just warm before slicing.
