Tahini Fig Bars
Description
The Tahini Fig Bars recipe starts by combining hearty oats, black mission or Smyrna figs, and pepitas with tahini and honey to bind the mixture. Ground flaxseed and chia seeds contribute texture and nutrition, enhanced by vanilla and cinnamon for flavor complexity. A dash of sea salt balances the sweetness.
Once mixed, the dense mixture is pressed firmly into a parchment-lined loaf pan, chilled briefly while the chocolate topping is melted. The warm chocolate and coconut oil are then spread evenly over the bars, which are returned to the fridge to set fully. After firming, the slab is sliced into eight bars.
These bars are best eaten cold or at room temperature, maintaining their chewiness and structure, making them convenient for on-the-go snacking or as a sweet bite any time of day. Store in the fridge for up to a week to preserve their texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup dried figs black mission or smyrna work great, chopped
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds also referred to as pumpkin seeds, raw or toasted
- ½ cup tahini
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons Flaxseed ground
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips dairy-free, if desired
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Add oats, figs, pepitas, tahini, honey, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt in a large bowl.
- Once the mixture is holding together, transfer into the loaf pan lined with parchment. Fold the parchment over top and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Place in fridge for a few minutes while melting the chocolate.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until melted. Pour melted chocolate over the bars and spread using the back of a spoon.
- Place the bars back in the fridge to harden (about 30 minutes). Remove from the pan and cut into 8 bars.
- Store bars in fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy cold or at room temperature (I've found that they hold together best when chilled and they taste delicious straight from the fridge).
