Fig Walnut Teff Muffins (vegan & gluten-free)

September 13, 2019 By Hana Leave a Comment

Fig Walnut Teff Muffins (vegan & gluten-free)

These Fig Walnut Teff Muffins are a variation of an old recipe from 4 years ago for Fig Walnut Chocolate Muffins made with spelt flour. It feels like a very long time ago now, I’m in my fifth year of blogging! I’ve always wanted to make them gluten-free and update the recipe, but I’ve decided to keep the original recipe on the blog for you who love them and I’m posting this one as a brand new one.

They are very wholesome but taste very indulgent at the same time! I’ve opted for a mix of ground walnuts, brown rice flour,  teff flour and tapioca flour for my gluten-free mix, which you can adapt to your taste. I’ve added extra chopped walnuts, dark chocolate and lovely fresh figs and you have the most delicious muffins. Maybe not the prettiest looking ones but taste amazing nevertheless.

I’m thinking the chopped walnuts could also be sprinkled on top rather than in the mix but I leave that up to you. I’ve saved some fig slices for the top as well as they look lovely like that. Enjoy the recipe!

Much Love Hana xx

  3. Mix 2tbsp of ground flaxseed with water and set aside to thicken.
  4. Slice the figs into 4 or 8 depending on size of your figs, chop the walnuts and the chocolate. Set aside.

  6. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar and flax eggs.
  7. Add the wet mix to the dry mix and mix until well combined. You should have thick muffin consistency.
  8. Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate and finally sliced figs keeping few to put on top.
  9. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cases distributing evenly. Top with remaining fig slices.
  10. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a cocktail stick comes out clean.
  11. Remove from the oven once ready and leave to cool down for 10 min before moving onto a wire rack.
  12. Enjoy!

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

White Yule Log from last year ❄️ Chocolate spo White Yule Log from last year ❄️ Chocolate sponge cake with white chocolate frosting, all gluten-free & vegan! You can find the recipe on my blog in the Christmas round up post for easy access.🎄

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄
