Description
A wholesome recipe for healthier fig rolls that are delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dried figs, chopped and stems removed
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Water, as needed (up to 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped figs with enough water to cover them, and simmer over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender.
- Once softened, remove from heat and allow them to cool.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
- In another bowl, blend the honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- If the mixture appears too crumbly, add water a tablespoon at a time until it binds well.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Evenly distribute the fig filling over the dough, ensuring to leave a small border.
- Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, creating a log shape.
- Cut the log into 1-inch segments and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
- Allow the fig delights to cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
Notes
- Ensure figs are tender before using them in the recipe.
- Adjust sweetness by using more or less honey/maple syrup.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
