- Add the almond meal and tapioca flour and blend for 10 seconds until well combined.
- Drizzle a tiny bit of maple syrup over the pecans and gently roll the pecans in the syrup to coat them.
- Pour the tart mixture into the muffin cases.
- Top each tart with a piece of fig and a sprinkle of pecans.
- Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Don’t over cook as they will go too dry.
