Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup chopped dried figs, plus 3 whole dried figs

1 cup lowfat milk
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

3/4 cup natural applesauce
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and top each muffin with a fig slice. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
