Figs are one of my favorite fall fruits and I just indulge in them while I can! They are so great eat just as they are, to add in your cooking or to bake with. They are both rich in antioxidants, great for your digestion and can reduce blood pressure. And since they’re both sweet and juicy they add a lovely taste and texture to your food or baked goods. This cake is an easy and healthy coffee cake with fresh figs that is super easy to make and taste amazing. It can be served both for breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert since it’s both gluten and refined sugar free.
A few tips:
- Make sure to buy juicy and sweet figs since they provide both moist and sweetness to the cake.
- Dice them into quite small diced, about the size of your pinky finger nail. You don’t want to have any too big pieces in the cake.
- This cake can be made oil free. Just replace the coconut oil with more apple sauce. But when making the crumble add just two tablespoons of apple sauce to start with and see if more is needed.
- When you have added the streusel on top of the cake, press it down gently to make sure it sticks to the cake.
- This cakes is good to store in an airtight food container for up to 4 days.
