  1. Wonderful muffins! I have a fig tree that has figs for the first year (the tree is 3 years old) and I wanted to use the figs in something -- this was perfect. I did change the recipe slightly by used about one dozen of fresh figs, quartered (next time I will try to mash them) and 3 bananas (didn't measure). I also skipped the walnuts. On baking I used paper cupcake liners and skipped the water in the greased muffin cups. I made 18 muffins, very close to what the recipe states. As I still have more figs, I will be making this again, but trying to mash the figs this next time. Thanks for sharing and if you have any hints on how to use fresh figs I would appreciate any hints anyone has. Thanks again.
     
  2. These are absolutely divine. I have now made about five batches as fresh figs are in season. My boyfriend's co-workers keep devouring them. I have made a few adjustments. I used 1-1/2 cups of fresh chopped mission figs and reduce the mashed bananas to 1 cup. I also eliminate the chopped walnuts on top of the muffins. Because I just love figs so much, this allows for more of the fig flavor to come through
     
  3. Wow! What a great muffin. I love figs, and the flavor goes really well with the bananas. I ran out of flour, so used 1/2 wheat flour & 1/2 all-purpose. I left out the walnuts (just don't care for nuts) and used calimyrna figs. I skipped the water in the muffin tin step, and filled my tins full, so I only got 10 muffins. I baked them for about 22 minutes and they came out just perfect.
