INGREDIENTS

  • 200 G Organic Dried Figs*
  • 50 G Organic Dried Mulberries*
  • 3/4 Cup Boiling Water
  • 125 G Vegan Butter Melted
  • 2/3 Cup Organic Coconut Sugar*
  • 2 Tbsp Organic Rice Malt Syrup*
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Essence
  • 1 1/2 Cup Gluten-Free Self-Raising Flour*
  • 1/3 Cup Soy Milk

For the Sauce

  • 300 Ml Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 Cup Organic Coconut Sugar*
  • 1/3 Cup Organic Rice Malt Syrup*
  • 3 Tsp Arrowroot Starch

METHOD

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 170C, and lightly spray a 12-hole muffin pan. Cover the figs and mulberries with the boiling water and set aside to soak.
  • 2. Using electric beaters, beat the sugar, butter, rice malt syrup and vanilla essence until smooth. Transfer mix to a food processor, adding the figs and mulberries with the water, the flour, and milk, and pulse gently until well combined and fruit is roughly chopped.
  • 3. Spoon the mix into the lightly greased muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 – 3/4 full. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean! Allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes.
  • 4. Meanwhile, whisk the coconut milk, coconut sugar, and rice malt syrup in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Sift in the arrowroot starch, reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir occasionally for around 15 minutes or until gently thickened.
  • 5. Serve the muffins warm with a drizzle of the sauce. Enjoy it with your favourite vanilla ice-cream for an extra special treat!
