Tahini Fig Bars
Tahini Fig Bars mix rolled oats, chopped dried figs, pumpkin seeds, and tahini into a dense, chewy base sweetened with honey. Ground flaxseed, chia seeds, vanilla, and cinnamon add depth while a melted chocolate layer on top lends a smooth finish. Chilling solidifies the bars, making them ideal for a nutritious snack or light dessert.

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).
