These muffins have the nutty taste of sesame punctuated by pieces of sweet, chewy figs.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped dried figs
  • Boiling water
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup tahini
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • Sesame seeds

Directions

  1. 1.

    Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Pour boiling water over figs and let stand for 10 minutes to soften, then drain.

  2. 2.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together tahini, milk, and egg until smooth. Whisk in brown sugar. Add dry ingredients to bowl and stir until combined. Stir in figs.

  3. 3.

    Fill muffin tins 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each muffin. Bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
