Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh figs, stemmed and quartered (about 5-6 fresh figs)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (if gluten free use certified GF oats)
  • 1/2 cup shelled walnuts
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup dates (about 5 small deglet noor dates)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Directions:

  • Line a 9x9 baking dish with wax/parchment paper.  
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse several times until all ingredients are well combined.   Remove and press into the baking dish.
  • Place in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes, then remove and cut into squares.  Store in an airtight container or ziptop bag in the fridge for up to a few days.

Notes

Notes:
  • I used Black Mission Figs (the ones with the purple skin) but you can use any variety that you’d like.
  • The overall sweetness will vary depending on the type of fig used.  Taste the mixture before pressing it into bars.  If you feel like it needs a little extra sweetness, you can add more golden raisins or dates. 
  • This recipe makes 9 bars.
