Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

Zest of 1 small lemon
1 1/2 cups almond meal (or finely crushed almonds plus 1 tsp flour)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oat flour (found at health food stores)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
12 small figs, stemmed
1 small egg
1/4 cup clover honey
1 1/4 cups skim milk
1/8 cup almond (or toasted almond) oil
6 tbsp sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl. Puree figs in a food processor until smooth and scrape into a small saucepan. Place over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until puree gently boils, about 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate. Whisk egg, honey, milk and oil in a bowl. Incorporate into flour mixture and blend on low with a hand mixer. Line a muffin tin with paper cups; fill each halfway with batter. Add 1 tbsp fig puree to center of each cup, then cover with a small spoonful of batter. Sprinkle almonds on top. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

I'm not a fan of almonds, so I used chopped pecans instead. The muffins were still delicious!

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover figs. I also like to add a few chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more butter or oil to the batter next time.

I had some trouble finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. The muffins still turned out great!

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
