Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins

Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins // Feast + West

Savory muffins, y’all. New obsession. I’m sharing this recipe for Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins right now because I want you to be obsessed too.

Don’t get me wrong, I do love sweet muffins for breakfast. Blueberry, chocolate chip, cinnamon streusel… I did get my start in baking from boxes when I was younger, and I certainly owe many a breakfast to the wonder of boxed muffin mixes.

But, you can make savory muffins from scratch! And you can make them with vegetables and other fruits and even cheese. I love slathering goat cheese and (more!) honey over top these Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins. Absolutely divine.

The best part is that you don’t even have to eat these Fig, Onion + Honey Muffins for breakfast. Brunch will do, and so will lunch and dinner. Eat them alongside a hearty soup or in lieu of dinner rolls. In other words, you have a lot of options! Hope you get obsessed too. // susannah
