Muffins with Figs and Almonds

 

 

These should be called “muffins for any time of the day” because you can serve them at any time, either with coffee, either as a dessert, or together with a scoop of ice-cream. The ingredients I used are for 12 servings and it took me approximately one hour to prepare.

 

 

Ingredients:

• 175 g of flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 175 g of soft butter
• 175g of sugar
• 175g of ground almonds
• 1 tablespoon rose water
• 3 large eggs
• 5 ripe figs
• 1 handful of almond flakes
• powdered sugar, for decorating (optional)

 

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven at 180 ° C. Place the special baking paper forms in a tray for muffins. Mix by using a food processor the flour, butter, sugar, ground almonds, rosewater and eggs until you get a homogeneous mixture.
• Divide the mixture between the spaces on the tray (in my case 12).
• Cut the figs into small cubes and place them in equal quantities in each space together with the mixture.
• Sprinkle almond flakes on top. Place the tray in the oven for approximately 40 minutes.
• You can add powdered sugar on top of them in order to decorate.
