Скачать или смотреть Healthier Fig Bars (vegan, gluten-free)

These bars will trigger all the nostalgia you have for dried fig bars from childhood. Or if fig bars were never part of your childhood, they will be a delicious wholesome snack for you to enjoy. You could sub dried apricots or dates if you don’t have any dried figs on hand. You could also add some lemon zest to the filling (which I forgot to do here) to bring out the flavor of the figs even more. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 cup dried figs (200g)
2oz (50ml) lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest (optional)
2 tsp vanilla extract (divided
2 and ¼ cups almond flour (250g)
⅓ cup (60ml) sunflower oil
⅓ cup (60ml) maple syrup

Directions:
1. Combine figs, lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
2. Stir almond flour, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until a dough forms. It will be sticky but should hold together.
3. Use 2 sheets of parchment paper to roll out a rough rectangle of dough, about ¼ inch / ½ cm thick. Press in flat sausages of fig paste in the center.
4. Roll the dough using the parchment to help press it over the filling.
5. If you have excess dough, trim with a knife and re-roll / refill with parchment again.
6. Bake 20-30 mins at 300F. Once cool, slice into bars. Enjoy!
