Instructions

Step 1

Place the figs in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and let them soak for 30 minutes. Drain the figs and pat away any excess moisture with a paper towel

Step 2

Place the drained figs, almond flour, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, orange zest (if using), vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor container and blend until the mixture clumps together. Pulse in the walnuts.

Step 3

Line an 8 by 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about 1-inch overhang. Add the fig mixture to the pan and use damp hands to press the mixture flat, about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Place the pan in the freezer until the contents have firmed up, about 1 hour. Slice into 9 squares. Keep the bars chilled in the refrigerator or freezer
