Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, mash the chopped figs with a fork until they form a chunky paste. Incorporate the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract into the figs for added moisture and flavor.
Combine the dry ingredients with the fig mixture and stir until everything is well blended. The batter should be sticky but manageable.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Let it cool in the pan before cutting it into bars.
Notes
Feel free to add nuts or seeds for an extra crunch! These bars are not only delicious but also store well in an airtight container.
