Barely Baked Oatmeal Fig Bars {high protein}

Ingredients

• 1/2 c old fashion oats
• 1/4 c quick oats
• 1 scoop protein powder (I used PEScience Snickerdoodle 30% OFF code PBCHOCO)
• 2 tbsp. all natural sugar free maple syrup or sticky syrup of choice
• 2 tbsp. coconut sugar (I used Better Body Foods)
• 1/4 c almond butter
• 12 dried black mission figs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract (I used Better Body Foods)
• 1 tsp. baking powder

Instructions

• Pre-heat your oven to 350f and prepare a glass dish or baking pan with parchment paper (mine was about 8x8 inches).
• Place your figs, almond butter, vanilla and maple syrup into a food processor or high performing blender on high until almost smooth. (I like small chunks of fig)
• In a bowl mix together your oats, protein, coconut sugar and baking powder.
• Add your fig/almond butter mixture into the bowl and use your hands to fold the ingredients together until completely incorporated.
• Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes.
• Remove and let cool completely before cutting into 9 squares and serving.
• Enjoy!
