There is nothing like a fresh baked muffin, one of my favourite items to order when I go out for coffee.  Perfect for that little afternoon break, or even breakfast or brunch.

Muffins come in so many different varieties I think you could go a whole year without eating the same one twice.  Sweet or savoury they make a great little snack.  These Apple Fig & Oatmeal Muffins are so easy to make and are so delicious.  Packed with chunks of sweet apple, pieces of dried figs and nutty oatmeal, all under a wonderful sweet streusel topping.  I know my afternoon coffee break just got a whole lot better.

For these muffins I used a sweet apple like Pink Lady.  Dried figs add flavour, while old fashioned oatmeal is great in muffins both in texture and a nutty touch.  Combined together these ingredients make one mighty fine and tasty muffin.

I love making a huge batch of muffins.  You can always freeze some for later, or you can always give them to friends/family. I know my kids love getting fresh baked treats delivered to their door.

These are quick and easy to whip up.  Make your streusel topping and set aside.  Chop up the apples (I leave the skin on) and figs. Mix everything together, scoop into muffin cups, sprinkle on the topping and bake.  Soon your house will be smelling so good and your fresh muffins will be ready to eat in no time.

  1. There is nothing better than a muffin for breakfast or a snack!! I would love an apple fig muffin right now. Figs give such a great natural sweetness to baked goodies. I’m saving the recipe to make once i get home.

  38. I admit I am not a huge fig fan but this recipe intrigues me. I bet I would like them paired with apples and in a muffin. I think I need to try. 🙂
