Instructions

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Arrange fig slices on top of the batter in a circular pattern.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  11. Drizzle with additional honey before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm figs for best texture and flavor.
  • The almond flour adds a nutty depth; substitute with all-purpose flour if needed.
  • Can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for 5 days.
