I saw a tasty recipe for fig cornmeal muffins in the New York Times and I tinkered with it.
1 cup figs
- 1/2 cup cranberries (mine happen to be frozen–bought too many fresh cranberries at thanksgiving, but they are coming in useful now)
- 1 C almond meal
- 1/2 C cornmeal
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1T Baking powder
- 1 t baking soda
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup yogurt (i used blueberry because that’s what we had. plain would be ok)
- 3 T agave syrup
- Beat eggs.
- Add baking powder & baking soda.
- Add flours.
- Add orange juice Stir until moist (you may need to add a little water). Add agave, figs, and cranberries
- mix well with a fork
- Fill muffin cups lined with papers.
- Bake at 350 for 30 mins until golden.
- Serves 12.
I love that you cook with figs. LOVE them.
