HOMEMADE FIG BARS



Homemade Fig Bars image

In this recipe, honey-sweetened figs are tucked inside a tender whole-wheat cookie. Both of my kids agreed they were superior to the store-bought versions they had tried at a friend's house -- they couldn't keep their mitts out of the tin I put them in.

Time 35m

Yield 20 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup roughly chopped dried figs, stems removed
1 tablespoon honey
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the figs in a small heatproof bowl, cover with hot water and soak for 10 minutes. Remove the figs from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a food processor. Add the honey and 1 tablespoon of the soaking liquid. Puree until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough between two pieces of parchment, then roll into two 12-by-4-inch rectangles.
  • Spread the fig filling on one half of each rectangle, spreading up the 12-inch side and leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch border.
  • Fold the dough over on top of itself and gently press the dough together at the edges. Cut each log into 10 cookies and transfer to baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

HOMEMADE OATMEAL FIG BARS

Categories     Breakfast

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 and 1/2 cups (about 230g) chopped dried figs, stems removed
1/2 cup (120ml) water
2 Tablespoons (30ml) orange juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup (80ml) melted coconut oil
1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 and 2/3 cups (145g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats (or quick oats)*
1 cup (130g) whole wheat flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8-inch (what I use and recommend) or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars when they have cooled. Set aside.
  • Combine the chopped dried figs, water, and orange juice together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes or until figs are soft and have absorbed some of the liquid. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a food processor or blender and puree until there are no more chunks (fig seeds will not break down). Set aside. Makes *about* 1 and 1/4 cups filling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and egg together. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Begin whisking to combine and once the mixture becomes too thick, switch to a spoon or rubber spatula to bring the ingredients together. You will have about 2 and 1/2 cups of this crust/topping mixture.
  • Take a little over 1 and 1/2 cups of the crust/topping mixture and press it evenly into the lined pan. Spread fig filling in an even layer on top. Spoon remaining crust/topping mixture evenly on top and gently press it down into the filling to ensure it's tight and compact on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top has lightly browned. Avoid over-baking. 8 inch pans take closer to 30 minutes, 9 inch pans take closer to 25 minutes. (Note: Oil/moisture will soak on the parchment paper during the baking & cooling process. That's normal with this recipe.) Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool bars completely.
  • Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang on the sides. Cut into squares.
  • Cover leftover bars and store at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

FIG BARS



Fig Bars image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 48 one-inch bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature, 1 lightly beaten for sealing dough
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Zest of 1/2 lemon, cut into four 1-inch strips
1 cinnamon stick
24 ounces dried black mission figlets, stems trimmed
1/4 cup Cognac
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Make the cookie dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the vanilla, and salt together until smooth. Add 1 egg and egg yolk, beating to combine, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add flour gradually, and continue beating until just blended. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap, and shape into a rectangle. Wrap the dough well. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Make the filling: In a shallow, medium saucepan, combine lemon rind, cinnamon stick, figlets, cognac, 1 cup sugar, and 2 cups water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low; simmer until the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove lemon rind and cinnamon stick, and let cool.
  • Place fig mixture in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator, and divide in half. On a parchment-lined work surface that has been lightly floured, roll one half of the dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Trim the dough to 9 by 12 inches with a pizza wheel or a knife. Cut the rectangle lengthwise into three strips, 3 by 12 inches. If the dough becomes soft, it may be necessary to chill it again.
  • Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a #8 or #808 plain tip. Pipe the filling down the center of each strip. Brush beaten egg along one of the 12-inch sides of dough. Fold dough over fig filling to enclose, pressing gently to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a parchment paper, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cookies until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack. When completely cooled, transfer to a cutting board, and cut each log into eight 1 1/2-inch cookies with a serrated knife.

FIG BARS



Fig Bars image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried Calimyrna figs
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Using kitchen scissors, trim stems from the figs and discard. Cut the figs in half. In a saucepan combine the figs, water and lemon zest and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the figs, uncovered, until the water is absorbed and figs are tender, about 25 minutes. In a food processor puree the figs until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg and pulse to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Using an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gently beat in the dry ingredients. With floured hands, gather the dough into a ball, flatten and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour, or until chilled enough to easily roll out.
  • Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into a 13- by 9-inch rectangle. Trim the edges exactly with a sharp knife. Carefully transfer dough to a 13- x-9-9-inch buttered baking dish. Using a spatula spread the cooled fig mixture over the dough in an even layer. On a piece of waxed paper, roll out remaining dough in the same manner as before and place over the filling with the waxed paper side up. Peel the waxed paper from the dough and patch any tears by pressing dough together with your fingertips.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
