Homemade Fig Newtons with Cinnamon Cashew Butter- gluten, dairy, and sugar free

We have been snacking on these goodies all week and they seem to get tastier everyday. The muffins turned out chewy and dense- just like a real fig newton. The best part is that these muffins are only sweetened with natural fruit and contain no gluten. The Cinnamon Cashew Frosting is to die for and pairs perfectly with the fig taste.

3 cups of fresh figs (makes about 2.5 cups of fig puree)

1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour mix

2 organic eggs, beaten

1/4 cup olive oil

2 TBSP flax seed

1 tsp baking soda
