For a richer flavor, toast the chopped figs lightly before adding them to the batter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and nutty flavor. Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour. The texture will be slightly different. Dates or raisins make a great alternative to figs.
