Preparation steps

Heat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 12 part muffin tin.

Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together in a mixing bowl, then stir in the sugar.

Mix the milk, eggs and melted butter in a large bowl and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The mixture will be lumpy.

Spoon the mixture into the tins to half fill them. Place the figs on top of the mixture and cover with more mixture. Sprinkle with chopped and whole hazelnuts.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the muffins are risen and golden. Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
