Fig & Pear Shortcakes

Serves 6
Prep time 5 minutes
Cook time 15 minutes
Total time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium pears
  • 6 dried chopped figs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brewed chai tea (or water)
  • 2 1/3 cups Kodiak Super Foods Pancake Mix
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Pumpkin MuscleEgg (or plain egg whites)
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and lined a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, add chopped pears, chopped figs, chai or water (water will give less flavor), cinnamon, and vanilla. Cook on low-medium heat for 8-10 minutes until pears are softened and figs have plumped up. Let cool.
Step 3
Prepare shortcake dough by adding MuscleEgg and milk into a small bowl. Add Kodiak, coconut sugar, and stevia to the bowl of a stand mixer or food processor. Add cold butter and mix until small crumbles form. Slowly drizzle in MuscleEgg and milk mixture just until dough comes together.
Step 4
Carefully remove blade and divide dough into 6 equal portions (each of mine were approximately 90 grams). Roll into desired shape and place on cookie sheet. Press down on dough slightly to resemble a shortcake. Bake for 12-14 minutes until slightly brown.
Step 5
Let cool slightly and slice in half. Add a serving of the pear/fig mixture to the bottom half of the shortcake, replace top, and add whipped cream & chopped walnuts if desired.
