I love simple recipes, alas my blog name, but seriously we don’t need to complicate things. 

This simple Banana Bread with Figs is delicious and easy and with most of the things you probably have in your kitchen just grab fresh figs from the store. 

Fig season varies by region and variety, but in the Northern Hemisphere, fresh figs are generally available from late summer to early fall. 

Since I am in Tennessee that means usually from August to September, we have a couple of fig plants which are bushes or small trees, growing in my backyard, and I love it.

• Can you use gluten-free flour for this recipe, yes you can. I like making gluten-free breads because for a few years now gluten doesn’t sit well on my stomach. I do eat it, but not as often as before. I usually use 1:1 Gluten Free Flour.
• Can you add different fruits? Of course! instead of figs add any fruit you like or have.
• You can use as little or as many figs. It all depends on how big they are and what type of figs are used. Turkey Figs are pretty big so you might use less, but it’s up to you.
• Would this make great muffins? I think it would be fantastic in muffin form make sure to adjust the timing. I think it would be done in about 25 minutes but check on it.
• In the case of sugars, I love using stevia, but you’re more than welcome to use regular granulated sugar.

My family really loves this bread as I make it often especially over the weekend. It’s just a great snack, brunch, or breakfast.

If you have a chance to make it please do because if you love banana bread, and figs then you will most certainly love this bread too.

It’s fantastic the next day when the stands a bit and flavors marry. Just make sure to cover it well. You could keep it in the fridge but it’s not necessary unless you can’t eat right away.

Don’t you just love a big and beautiful breakfast board? I am telling you if you make it, it is a feast for the eyes!

We have these almost every weekend, and my family loves it.

What if I told you that everything on my table is plant-based? Even the sausage patties!

My family and I enjoy plant-based meals at least a few times a week. I started with this a few years ago.

I feel like making a couple of meals a week without any animal products is an excellent idea, and I can see that my family and my followers appreciate that too.

Anyways, I purchased Pure Farmland™ Savory Original and Maple Plant-Based Breakfast Patties at Publix in the frozen aisle along with other plant-based proteins.

These are wholesome, gluten and dairy-free, non-GMO, made with all-natural ingredients, plus they are most certainly a good source of protein. 

Fun facts about this product, they are proudly crafted in the USA, and their packaging trays are made from more than 50% recycled material.

I am more of a savory type of person, so I love original Pure Farmland Plant-Based Breakfast Patties, and my boys really enjoy the maple. The original has this savory and spicy mix, which I love, but honestly, I think both varieties are delicious.

Regardless, these patties tasted absolutely delicious. I can see myself prepping a tofu scramble and making a vegan breakfast quesadilla in my near future.

The fact is, there are so many different things that you could make using Pure Farmland Plant-Based Breakfast Patties and their meatballs as well.

Even if you are not vegetarian, I have a strong feeling that you will like these. Take it from my family and me!

What do you think of my unique and tasty plant-based weekend breakfast board?

There is something for everyone!

I have here tasty chocolate waffles, blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes, and fresh fruit such as bananas, berries, and citrus are always a great idea to add-on to your breakfast board, spreads, and syrups. You can add beverages such as tea, coffee, smoothies, and juice of your choice.

Didn’t I tell you it is a feast for your eyes?!

You can get everything in one trip at Publix, from Pure Farmland Savory Original and Maple Plant-Based Breakfast Patties to fruit and everything else that you and your family might need to make this breakfast board a success.

That being said, you can include your kids and other family members to help you build this incredibly appealing and tasty breakfast board.

It is so much fun to give each person an assignment, such as one could make these breakfast patties, the other flip pancakes or make waffles, and somebody could set the table or cut fruit. There is always a job for everyone, and to be frank, that is how we work in our house. We create memories to last a lifetime!

Creating memories in the kitchen and around the kitchen table is the best, especially when everyone works together.

I really do hope you try recreating my plant-based weekend breakfast board. Don’t forget to follow @sandraseasycooking on Instagram.

Note:

The cooking method for patties are on the back of the package. Please follow instructions for the best results.

Banana Nut Oat Muffins are such a great way not only to use up all those ripe bananas but makes such an amazing breakfast as well.

Often times when I cannot sleep I tend to bake. I am not a big baker as you all know if you are following me for a longer period of time, but I do like baking these simple baked goodies.

Bread, rolls and these types of goodies like these muffins are my specialties. Oh, I do enjoy the whole process of bread making.

Anyhow, these muffins are just fantastic on days when you just do not know what to serve your kids and no one is eating those bananas.

I had that exact problem, so this came really handy for two days. Having everyone home is not as easy as it seems even though I love having my kids all in one place.

That being said, this mama does need a break from time to time. So baking is definitely one great escape for me.

It is just so relaxing and therapeutic. Just like listening to music, which I do when I bake, so it’s really amazing time for me. Don’t you agree?

Well, my kids really like having warm muffins for breakfast or brunch, and I have feeling your family would too.

Plus you can totally make these together especially if you have a younger crew around you.

I remember all the great memories that I created with my children when they were much younger.

To be honest I miss having those moments, even though I love spoiling them often.

Hey, thank you for stopping by my blog. I really hope you guys try these easy and tasty Banana Nut Oat Muffins.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4-5 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly butter muffin tins. One large muffin tin or two smaller works just fine.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix then add rolled oats and chopped or crushed walnuts.
3. Mash bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture
4. Add sugar, melted butter, oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Mix well scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. You can use an electric mixer but it is not neccecery.
5. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated, together with oats and nuts.
6. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins to fill them about halfway. Give them a rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
7. Bake, until a toothpick stuck in the center of muffins, comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before turning the muffins out.
8. You can keep them in the fridge after they are completely cooled down. Make sure muffins are in the ziplock bag or container with a lid. Wam them up before serving.

Notes

You can add dried fruit or chocolate chips which is amazing in these muffins.

If you do not have oats that ios completely fine. You do not have to panic because they are great without it as well.

If you do not have walnuts you can use any other nut, roasted and unsalted; pecans, almonds, peanuts, etc. It just a great to have extra crunch.
