Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Coconut oil - 40 grams, melted
• Maple syrup - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Water - 2 tablespoons, cold
• Fresh figs - 6 medium, sliced
• Almonds - 30 grams, chopped
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Agave syrup - 1 tablespoon (for drizzling)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is slightly sticky but holds together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan, then press it into the pan and trim the edges.
5. In a separate bowl, mix sliced figs, chopped almonds, and cinnamon until well combined.
6. Spread the fig and almond mixture evenly over the tart crust.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the figs are tender.
8. Remove from the oven and drizzle with agave syrup before serving.
