For the Puddings:

• 1 cup milk of choice
• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp agave syrup (e.g., Crazy Jack agave syrup)
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• Pinch of nutmeg

For the Candied Walnuts:

• 1/3 cup walnuts (e.g., Crazy Jack walnuts)
• 1 tbsp agave syrup
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

For the Drizzle:

• 2 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp agave syrup
• 2-3 tsp milk of choice
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare the Fig Mixture:

   • Chop the dried figs and place them in a saucepan with the milk. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, mashing the figs with a wooden spoon until you get a smooth(ish) paste.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the tahini, coconut oil, and agave syrup.

3. Make the Batter:

   • In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, and salt.
   • Fold in the fig mixture until you have a smooth batter.

4. Bake:

   • Divide the batter evenly among 4 lightly oiled mini basins or ramekins.
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Prepare Candied Walnuts:

   • While the puddings are baking, add the walnuts, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the syrup has fully coated the walnuts.
   • Transfer the walnuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely.

6. Make the Drizzle:

   • In a small bowl, mix the tahini, agave syrup, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

7. Serve:

   • Once the puddings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
   • Drizzle the tahini mixture over the puddings, top with candied walnuts, and serve.
