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.
