Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 8 Bars

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Figs
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Cups Oats
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Stick Butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350.
Filling
  1. In a small pot add in the figs, water, and lemon juice. Turn on low/medium heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Once the figs are soft and mushy pour it into a food processor and add in the maple syrup. Turn the food processor on low until the mixture is smooth.
Crust & Topping
  1. In a food processor add in the oats, brown sugar, vanilla, and butter.
  2. Turn the food processor on low until the mixture is completely combined and forms almost a dough.
  3. In a greased 8x8 pan pour in 3/4 of the crust mixture (yes, save 1/4 of it for the topping). Use a spatula to flatten it down into the pan and slightly on the edges.
  4. Pour in the filling over top of the crust and spread it evenly. Use the rest of the crust mixture to sprinkle over the top.
  5. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  6. Once they are done let them cool, then cut them into whatever shape you want! Enjoy!
