Yummy Healthy Oatmeal Fig Bars

 

                         

My Beautiful Fig Tree                                               It has tons of figs! As promised here is my recipe for my yummy, healthy oatmeal fig bars: 8 to 10 ripe figs

1 ripe banana (bananas are a good egg subsitute for vegan recipies)

1 1/2 cups oatmeal

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

The remaining amounts are estimates. I just dumped it in and guessed at the amount

1 cup flower

1 teaspoon cinnamon

*1/2 teaspoon cloves

*1/2 teaspoon allspice

3 Tablespoons Agave Nectar

* Use cinnamon and whatever sweet spices you like

Preheat oven to 350

Cut stem top off figs

Place in large saucepan and simmer on low heat until soft and easy to mush (about 30 to 60 minutes)

Add very ripe banana and mash it all up together (banana is a good substitute for eggs in a vegan recipe)

Add remaining ingredients and stir until a thick pasty consistency

I used Pam on my Pampered Chef Bar Pan, but if your pan is well seasoned you might not need the Pam

Pour the mixture into a Bar Pan and spread until even

Place in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

When you take it out it will be gooey in the middle but should be firm enough to hold in your hand on the outside.

Cut into squares, let cool, but eat warm. Refrigerate leftovers but they're tastier warm so I microwaved them for 15 seconds.

Yummy and Healthy Snack or for a healthy quick breakfast!

When these are gone I'll make some more and use these exact amounts. If it needs adjustment I'll post the changes.
