How to Make Healthy Fig And Oat Bars

  1. Combine 1 cup dried figs and 1/2 cup boiling water in a bowl. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup almond flour, ¼ cup chopped walnuts, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly grease a square 8x8 inch baking pan. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan to create the base.
  6. Mash the softened figs with a fork until smooth, similar in consistency to applesauce. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency.
  7. Spread the fig filling evenly over the oat base.
  8. Top with the remaining oat mixture, pressing down gently.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
