How to Make Maple Frosted Figgies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together: 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup chopped dried figs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients (from step 2) into the dry ingredients (from step 3) until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. While the bars cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons milk (or more, as needed to reach desired consistency).
  9. Once the bars are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  10. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
