Healthier Fig Rolls are a nutritious, vegan, and gluten-free twist on the traditional fig roll. Made with oat flour, ground almonds, coconut oil, and naturally sweetened with figs, these rolls are a perfect light and satisfying snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

175g dried figs

3–6 tbsp water

125g ground oats (or oat flour)

50g ground almonds

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

2 tbsp maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)

50g coconut oil (or dairy-free butter)

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, add the dried figs and water. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, occasionally stirring and mashing the figs to create a smooth paste.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, and salt. Add the maple syrup and coconut oil, mixing until the ingredients form a dough.
  3. Chill the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes to solidify the coconut oil.
  4. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper into a 20×20 cm square. Slice down the middle to create two long pieces. Spread the fig mixture over the dough and carefully roll each piece into a tight cylinder.
  5. Freeze the rolled dough for 15-30 minutes to firm it up. Once chilled, slice the dough into individual cookies.
  6. Arrange the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool before enjoying.

Notes

For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts, almonds, or pistachios to the fig filling.

To spice it up, add ground ginger or nutmeg to the dough.

Use agave nectar, date syrup, or honey as alternatives to maple syrup.

For variety, try dried apricots or dates instead of figs for a different flavor profile.
