Healthier Fig Rolls
These healthier fig rolls are my current favourite afternoon treat to accompany my cup of tea! They’re so easy to make and only call for 7 ingredients. They also happen to be vegan, glute-free and dairy-free.
Ingredients
For the fig mixture
- 175g dried figs
- 3-6 tbsp water
For the biscuits
- 125g ground oats/oat flour
- 50g ground almonds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
- 50g coconut oil or butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F
- Add the figs and water in a large pan and cook on a medium heat for around 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash the figs into a paste as they cook.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, ground almonds, cinnamon and salt. Pour in the maple syrup and coconut oil and mix to combine.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the coconut oil to solidify and make it easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out into a 20×20cm square between two sheets of parchment paper. Slice down the middle to create 2 long pieces.
- Divide the fig mixture between the 2 pieces of pastry. Spread along one side, then carefully start rolling into a tight cylinder. Place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes then cut into cookies.
- Arrange on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Leave to cool completely and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
