Soft, dried figs recipe
I had a packet of soft, dried figs in the pantry that had been there for a while and thought I best eat them soon (as a snack) or make something with them.
So that’s when I decided to make these lovely fig oat squares that are chewy, oaty and very morish! They are great to grab at breakfast when you are in a rush with a hot cup of coffee or just as a mid-morning or afternoon snack.

How to make fig oat squares (with soft dried figs)
Preheat the oven to 180°c/160°c fan/Gas 4.. Grease and line your tin with baking paper and make sure it overhangs so you can pull it out easily.
Add the butter, golden syrup and sugar to a large saucepan and heat through on a gentle heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the oats, figs and pumpkin seeds.
Transfer to the tin, level the surface and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and just firm to touch.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes then score with a knife into 16 squares. Leave to cool completely then lift out of the tin and slice into squares.
Storage
