Spiced Walnut & Fig Muffins
• Do not overmix, or muffins may become dense. • Lightly spoon flour into measuring cups to avoid dry texture. • Almond flour adds moisture and tenderness, so avoid replacing it 1:1 without adjusting liquids. • Muffins freeze well for longer storage. Health Benefits: These muffins provide a balance of complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and fiber. Walnuts contribute omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and cardiovascular health, while figs add natural sweetness and fiber that support gut health and more gradual blood sugar response. Cocoa and spices provide polyphenols that support antioxidant activity and metabolic health.
