Fig Bars

by Leave a Comment

I am making Fig Bars today! This is a family favorite that I just can’t make often enough.

I was inspired to create a healthier version of fig newtons because my dad loved them so much.  The only down side with traditional fig newtons is that they are loaded with unnecessary refined ingredients like flours and sugar.  But guess what…mine don’t! The best part is that my dad loves this version so much that I have to ship my mom large bags of figs monthly so they can enjoy them for their daily lunch time snack.

Check out my youtube video below to watch just how simple it is to make these bars!

Helpful Hint: 

If you plan to serve the delicious treats to guests and want then to look perfect, freeze for 2 hours and cut while still frozen with a warm knife. This will ensure you don't have to deal with misshapen bars or messy crumbles. 

This is one of the few recipes that fresh fruit is a requirement. Frozen fruit will leave your filling runny.
