Ingredients:
2 c. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 c. Honey
1/4 c. Coconut Oil
2 Eggs
9 oz. Figs
1/2 c. Water
1/4 c. Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 tsp. Clove
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor, blend together 9 oz. of figs and 1/2 cup of water. Once the mixture becomes smooth, add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, mix and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey and coconut oil, until it becomes light in color. Next, add the eggs, vanilla, and figs. Make sure to mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.
In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and salt). Pour the fig mixture into the flour and stir. Once the batter comes together, spoon the batter into muffin liners and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
*Half the batter I made plain and for the other half, I spooned about a 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese in the middle of the muffins right before they baked.
