I couldn't let the fig season end without making a recipe with them...

These muffins are perfect for a rainy afternoon together with a nice warm tea or coffee.

The smell all over the house while they're in the oven is priceless, and there's nothing better than eating them when they are freshly made...

Here's my gluten and dairy free recipe of fig, sesame and honey muffins. :)

MUFFINS IN THE OVEN - FIG, SESAME AND HONEY MUFFINS

PREPARATION :

1. Preheat the oven at 200ºC.

2. In a bowl mash the figs until you get a purée.

3. Add one by one each ingredient until it gets creamy, if needed add some milk if it gets too dry.

4. Place a paper cup on each gap and fill it 3/4 with the dough. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

5. Reduce the oven heat to 180ºC and place the tray in the middle. Bake for 25-30 min. or until they look golden-brown outside and you introduce a toothpick in the middle and it comes out dry/clean. (Each oven is different, you need to be vigilant so they don't get burned outside and uncooked inside).
