Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Mexican canela or Ceylon variety preferred)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup finely chopped California mission fig

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.Grease 1 small (7 1/2- × 3 3/4- inch) loaf pan and line with parchment or wax paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the center. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, orange juice, yogurt, sugar, oil, vanilla, and figs. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and stir together just to combine. Do not over mix. (The batter will be thick.) 3. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, and level the top. Bake in preheated oven about 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack. Cool at least 30 minutes. Slice and serve.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
