Recipe: Serving size may vary: about 12 bars Ingredients: 1 cup of medjool dates 1 cup of dried or fresh brown turkish figs 1 1/2 cup gluten free oats 1/4 almonds, crushed 1/2 cup go take a hike trail mix (golden raisins, cashews, goji berries, mulberries & pistachios) 2 tbsp chia seeds 2 tbsp flax seeds 2 tbsp hemp seeds 3 tbsp cocao nibs 1/4 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup almond butter 1/2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp cinnamon *optional 2 tbsp maple syrup Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F to toast dry ingredients. Sprinkle cinnamon over dry ingredients prior to toasting. Once the oven reaches 350 degree F turn it off, and put dry ingredients in the oven toast. 2. In the meantime, use a blender or food processor to blend the dates, figs, and coconut oil until the sticky dough texture is acheived. This makes the glue of your bars. 3. Next, combine the nut butters and maple syrup in a pot of the stove top for just a few minutes until the mixture is combined evenly. 4. Then, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl using a spatula or if easier hands until all the indgredients stick together. If there is too much dry ingredient not mixing in take it out as necessary. If not, the bars will come out flakey and brittle. 5. Lastly, transfer the dough into a pyrex container lined with parchment paper or lightly coated with oil, while pressing down evenly. After 15-20 minutes of storage cut the bars. Store the granola bars in the fridge or freezer, and enjoy! Tips:

Recipe: serving size: about 12 Ingredients: 1 lemon (including the zest) 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 cup dried turkish figs (soaked overnight) 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup oat milk 1/4 tsp himalayan salt 1/3 cup nut butter 1 tbsp vanilla extract Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 2. In the meantime, strain soaked overnight figs (save the fig juice for the buckwheat granola recipe). Then place figs in blender along with the maple syrup and half of the lemon juice. Blend until smooth. If too thin add some of the fig juice little at a time. Set aside. 3. Next, combine the remaining lemon juice, nut butter, vanilla extract, and oat milk in a bowl. In another bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon zest. 4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry until dough is formed. 5. Line a baking sheet in a pyrex container 9x9x2-inch. Press half the dough into a thin layer and top it off with the fig filling. 6. Use the remaining dough to press out the same way as the first, and then place on top of the fig filling gently. 7. Bake for 25 minutes and allow to cool before storage or enjoyment! Tips:
