There’s never a bad time to make homemade fig bars, especially when they don’t require any baking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s right — these no bake fig bars take only 10 minutes to make, which you can’t say about many dessert recipes. Though, what I love most about these is that they’re sweet but not too sweet, making them a great dessert<\/a> or <\/em>snack<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as I love my no bake breakfast cookies<\/a> — and I do — these bars are even easier to prepare, and would also make an acceptable grab-and-go breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • An easy no bake recipes that requires just 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to prepare. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Packed with nuts and sweetened with maple syrup to keep them on the lighter side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • These no bake fig bars are also vegan, gluten free, paleo — all the things!\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Figs – <\/strong>For these bars, you’ll want to use dried mission figs, not turkish figs. Simply put, they taste differently, and I’ve only tested these bars using mission figs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Walnuts & almonds –<\/strong> Raw, unsalted nuts are the way to go. If you need to substitute one kind, pecans should work well, though they’ll make these bars taste slightly sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cocoa powder –<\/strong> No substitution; the cocoa powder is going to give these bars a subtle chocolate-y flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maple syrup –<\/strong> Start with three tablespoons and increase as needed. Honey will work, though it’ll alter the flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Salt –<\/strong> A pinch of flakey salt on top of the bars before eating elevates these to the next level.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Pulse the figs. <\/strong>Start by adding the dried figs to your food processor and pulsing for 10 seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients. <\/strong>Next, add the walnuts, almonds, salt, and cocoa powder and pulse. With the motor running, pour the maple syrup in through the top and pulse until everything is combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Refrigerate.<\/strong> Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1 inch overhang. Then, scoop the mixture out from the food processor into the dish, and use the back of a spoon or your hands to press the mixture into the pan. Place them into the refrigerator for at least one hour to let the bars set.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Slice into bars.<\/strong> Remove from the refrigerator and pull on the parchment tabs to remove. Use a knife to slice into 9 larger bars or 16 smaller bars and enjoy!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • You should be able to find dried figs at the grocery store<\/strong>, but if not, you can order some online. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • If it’s too dry<\/strong>, add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
