Picking up where we left off...

Banana Fig Bread

1/2 c. firmly packed lt. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 large ripe bananas, mashed

6 T. unsalted butter, melted
1/3 c. plain yogurt
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Bake walnuts 5 to 10 minutes or until golden, stirring after 4 min.; set aside. Whisk flours and next 4 ingred. in a large bowl; set aside. Combine bananas and next 5 ingred. in a medium bowl; stir in walnuts. Fold banana mixture into flour mixture. Spoon batter into a buttered and floured 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake 55 min. or until a wooden pick comes out clean, shielding with foil as nec. Cool bread in pan on a wire rack 30 min. Remove from pan; cool completely.
