Step 1

In a small saucepan (use a wide and shallow one, not a tall and narrow one), add the dried figs, Truvia, orange juice, and water.  Let soak for 1 hour.

Step 2

Cover with a lid and place the saucepan over medium heat.  Keeping cover on, cook for ~20 minutes, or until the figs are super soft and can be easily mushed with a fork.  Let cool completely.

Step 3

Blend in a high speed blender (I used my Vitamix) until a spreadable paste.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the oat flour, Truvia, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, the melted 2 tbs of coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract.  Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a thick dough.  Roll the dough out between two silicone baking sheets until ¼” thick.  Slice into a large rectangle (about 8” x 18” long).

Step 7

Spread the fig jam in a center line down the dough rectangle.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the fig filling like a pamphlet.  Start by lifting one side of the silicone baking sheet, gently pressing on it so the dough sticks to the fig filling, then repeat on the other side.

Step 9

Flip the Fig Bar “log” so the seam side is down, then slice.  Place the silicone baking sheet on a cookie sheet and space the Fig Bars apart a couple inches or so.  Bake for 12 minutes.  Take the pan out of the oven and brush the melted 1 tsp of coconut oil on top of the bars.  Let cool, then store in a tightly sealed container overnight so they can soften.  Enjoy the following day!
