Fig rye banana bread is a banana bread lover’s dream come true. This bread is dense yet light, moist and so delish with the dried figs hidden in there. I absolutely love this bread and will def make it again, again and again. The spelt and rye flours complement the luscious figs so well. I am still dreaming about this loaf.

I was in the mood for some rye bread, prepping myself for our trip to Copenhagen this November. I absolutely loved our trip to Brugge and I just can’t wait for our next travel destination. So when I think about banana bread, it should be crunchy on the outside and super moist and soft when sliced. I adapted this recipe for Choosing chai’s chocolate banana bread. She uses eggs and I have added flax eggs and apple cider as egg substitutes.

Currently, as a stay at home, I feel like I have to start learning something new. I don’t know what it is but having a baby led me to forget a lot. It’s like a constant baby brain or the loss of brain cells. I went to visit a friend of mine that just had a baby and she said that our brains do shrink during pregnancy and only return to normal after about 6 months after birth. How crazy is that!  So writing our French B1 tests was quite stressful for me, with my shrunk brain and all. Now, I am trying to occupy my time with other activities than blogging, since I need a bit of social interaction and improve my French. I am soon starting to take pastry and bread courses at a flour mill and I can not wait. This will help me to pick up my bread game since sourdough and I am not looking eye to eye.

So hopefully I’ll be able to make some vegan croissants, baked bread, tarts etc. I’ll be taught the old-fashioned way of baking so I’ll have to teach myself the vegan alternatives. It’s a process, looking back a couple years ago my interest has certainly changed and I have to say being more true to who you are is so enlighting.
