Active Time: 40 Minutes | Total Time: 1 Hour | 1 dozen muffins | | Sweet figs and a filling of tangy goat cheese give a surprising twist to these hearty breakfast muffins. Make a batch of these on the weekend and enjoy them for breakfast all week long. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, try them with cream cheese instead. Make Ahead Tip: Individually wrap the muffins and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic wrap, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30-45 seconds. INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup crumbled soft goat cheese or reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) | 2 tablespoons honey | 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest | 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided | 2 cups white whole-wheat flour (see Note) | 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder | 1/2 teaspoon baking soda | 1/4 teaspoon salt | 2 large eggs | 1 large egg white | 3/4 cup packed dark or light brown sugar | 1 cup low-fat or nonfat buttermilk | 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil | 1 1/4 cups chopped dried figs | 3 tablespoons turbinado (see Note) or granulated sugar | Ingredient Note: : White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available in large supermarkets and at natural-foods stores). Store it in the freezer. Turbinado sugar is steam-cleaned raw cane sugar. It’s coarse-grained and light brown in color, with a slight molasses flavor. Find it in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets or at natural-foods stores. Measuring tip: We use the “spoon and level” method to measure flours. Here’s how it is done: Use a spoon to lightly scoop flour from its container into a measuring cup. Use a knife or other straight edge to level the flour with the top of the measuring cup. | | DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners or coat with cooking spray. | Thoroughly combine goat cheese (or cream cheese), honey, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl. Set aside. | Whisk flour (see Measuring Tip), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Lightly beat eggs and egg white in a medium bowl; add brown sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in buttermilk and oil until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in figs. | Spoon half the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Add 1 generous teaspoon of the reserved cheese filling to the center of each muffin, and cover with the remaining batter. (The filling should not be visible). Sprinkle the muffins with sugar. | Bake the muffins until the edges start to brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. | | Recipe reprinted by permission of © EatingWell Magazine.
