Fig and walnut muffins (makes 20 in 5 cm muffin molds)

Figs are a healthy fruit, rich in iron, that we don't eat often.

The crunchy texture of fragrant walnuts and the soft sweetness of the figs make this an irresistible sweet!

[Staff comment]

When I first heard of it, I thought, "What's a fig cake???" but after eating it I was really surprised! It's really delicious! Oh, and good for you too – a pretty and healthy sweet dessert.

[Customer feedback]

I chopped up the walnuts and figs too finely and so the texture wasn't all that wonderful, but the moderate sweetness makes this a good sweet for adults. Good with a cup of tea!
