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 sure what I did wrong, but my muffins didn't turn out very well. They were dry and crumbly.

These muffins were a bit dry. I think I needed to add more moisture to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the muffins to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The almond flavor was very prominent and the fig center was a nice surprise. I would definitely make these again.
