Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with cupcake papers.

Combine the butter, ricotta, sugar and vanilla and whisk with an electric mixer, 1 min.

Add the eggs, buttermilk, salt and ground almonds and mix, 1 min. Fold in the flour.

Lightly mix in the figs and spoon the mixture into the muffin tin. Push a toffee into the center of each muffin, leaving a bit of it exposed.

Add a light sprinkling of treacle sugar on top of each muffin. Bake for 15-18 mins until a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool it in the tin for 5 mins before transferring to a cooling rack.

TIP: 
Replace the figs with chopped strawberries or whole raspberries and blueberries, if a berry flavour is preferred.
