Easy No-Bake Fig Bars
You only need 6 ingredients and 10 minutes to make these delicious fig bars! Great for an easy healthy snack, on-the-go, hiking, or when you're craving something sweet.
Ingredients
- 10 oz dried figs soaked for 10 minutes then drained
- 10 oz raw almonds
- 10 oz raisins
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 1 cup oats
Instructions
- Combine all of your ingredients in a large food processor with a steel blade.
- Run the blade until the mixture is fine and sticky. You may need to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl a few times and continue to pulse to make sure everything is broken down into small pieces.
- Line an 8x8-inch freezer-safe dish with parchment paper, making sure the paper runs up the sides of the dish. This will help you lift the bars out later to cut them.
- Press your fig mixture evenly into your parchment-lined dish. I find it's easiest to wet my hands just a bit and use them to press in the mixture.
- Pop your pan in the freezer for about an hour. This will give everything a chance to cool off and stick together.
- After an hour, lift your bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Do this carefully and slowly. You may need to run a knife between the bar mixture and the pan to help coax it out.
- Cut into 24 bars and enjoy!
Notes
Storing: Store these in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can store them on the counter but I find they stay more moist when stored in the refrigerator. You can eat them straight out of the refrigerator or let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to warm up a bit.
To Freeze: These will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend storing them in a single layer so they don't stick together. I enjoy them right out of the freezer (this is great for a cool summer treat). If you'd prefer, you can take one out of the freezer and set it on the counter for 30 minutes to warm up a bit.
