Fig Newtons

Yay, it’s FRIDAY! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and don’t forget to treat yourself to something sweet. Are you a fan of fig newtons? These bars are made with fig and mulberry jam filling – naturally sweet, flavorful and not too thick, wrapped in a delicious and nutritious crust made with almonds, flaxseeds, shredded coconut and nut milk.

The filling is simply dried figs, mulberries and banana pureed with some freshly squeezed orange juice and spiced with cinnamon. These fig bars are as good as you remember. Taste so much better actually. And while they take a little bit of planning, a few steps and time they are not hard to make at all. Easier to make than it looks. This recipe from start to finish takes less than an hour. The longest part is waiting for the bars to dry.

Ingredients

• Crust
• ½ cup golden flax meal

• 2 tablespoon coconut nectar
• 2 tablespoon nut milk
•  
• Filling
• 14 soft, dried figs

Transfer to a food processor add remaining ingredients and process until well combined and form a nice dough. Remove from food processor, place between two large sheet of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle that’s about ¼ inch thick. Set aside while you are preparing the filling.
2. To prepare the filling, combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and pulse until smooth but still slightly crunchy.
3. Spoon the fig filling down the middle lengthwise, leaving room on both sides. Picking up the parchment paper on one side, carefully roll the crust to meet the other side and press lightly to seal. Then cut the rolls into 1inch pieces.
4. Dehydrate at 115°F about 3- 4 hours. Halfway through the dehydrating time flip and remove dehydrator sheet. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have a dehydrator, you can skip this step. Not necessarily require dehydrating.
