Millet-Fig Gluten Free Muffins

Dried figs are such a joy when fresh ones are out of season. Use them in these simple gluten free muffins to make a real crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

2 cups gluten free all purpose flour (if it doesn’t include xanthan gum, add 1 tsp)

1/2 cup raw millet

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

pinch of sea salt

1 tsp ground ginger

1/3 cup ground flax seeds

2/3 cup maple syrup

2/3 cup almond milk

2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup chopped figs

Cooking Directions

Preheat over to 400 and line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper muffin cup liners

Whisk the flour, millet, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger and ground flax seeds.

In another bowl whisk together maple syrup, almond milk, and olive oil.

Toss the figs in a small bowl with a spoonful of the flour mix (this keeps the figs from dropping to the bottom of the muffins).

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then fold in the figs. Divide the batter between the muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes.
