- In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, salt, and baking soda.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grapeseed oil, and agave nectar.
- Scrape the tiny vanilla beans (they look like seeds) out of the pod into the wet mixture.
- Blend the wet ingredients into the coconut flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined, then fold in the figs.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.
