How to Make Fig Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Finely chop 1 cup dried figs into 1/4-inch pieces or smaller. (You can use a food processor for easier chopping).
  6. Add the chopped figs and the zest of 1 large orange to the creamed butter mixture. Mix well.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup plain yogurt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  10. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
