Fig Bars

Fig Newtons are probably the one cookie that I can buy from the store and eat the entire package in one sitting. because of this I choose to never buy Fig Newtons I swear they must be laced with crack. So I decided to go on a mission to make my own Fig Newtons.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. honey
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs

For the Filling:
1-1/2 cups black Mission figs
1/4 unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the cookie, In one bowl mix all the dry ingredients slowly incorporate the wet ingredients. The dough will be sticky and a bit wet.

Press into a ball, wrap it and refrigerate for about an hour to firm up.

Preheat oven to 350.

Once firm, roll the dough onto a floured surface or parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter to cut 3x6 inch sections, you can make 3-4

Once the dough is rolled out and cut, spread the fig mixture onto half of the dough and fold it over to 1.5x6. Use a fork to seal the other long edge of dough.

Cut into squares, place on lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.

They should last a couple of weeks, but you can refrigerate them to make them last even longer. 

Enjoy!
