The HEALTHIEST Fig Cake You Can Eat Guilt-Free

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soaked dates (or use fresh medjool dates)
  • 3-4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp buckwheat flour
  • 4 tbsp oats
  • 4 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 6 fresh figs
  • honey and nut butter on top optional

Instructions

  • Blend the dates and eggs first in a blender to combine with the eggs, then continue to mix the mixture with a mixer at the highest speed. Add yogurt, coconut oil and vanilla to this mixture. Stir until you get a homogeneous mixture. Finally slowly add the flour, oats and baking powder, mix again with the mixer, but now on low speed.
  • Chop the figs into cubes and add them to the mixture last. Do not mix with a mixer but with a spoon to stay whole.
    Pour the cake into a baking tray, that you have previously coated little with coconut oil so that it does not stick when taken out. You can also bake on parchment paper. My tray was a cube measuring 9x9 inch.
    Bake it for 10-15 minutes at 350˚F and then for another 10 minutes at 320˚F.
  • Finally, when it is baked and it cools down a bit, you can put 1 tablespoon of honey on top of it, which will be slowly absorbed and will penetrate inside the cake.
    I also added homemade hazelnut butter - a perfection of flavors.
