I bought a packet of dried figs from the supermarket a few weeks ago. I opened them up in a "i-haven't-got-any-fruit-and-need-something" panic and they were seriously disappointing. Give me a fresh fig any day. I decided the poor dried figs needed a bit of jazzing up which is how they made their way into a batch of flapjacks! The figs themselves are layered between the flapjack, creating a fig layer nestled between a load of oats, honey, butter and sugar. Delish.
To make a tray of fig flapjacks you will need:
A 250g bag of dried figs
200ml water
200g salted butter
200g honey
200g brown sugar
400g oats
Start by preheating your oven to 180C and lining the baking tin with greaseproof paper
Chop up your figs into small pieces and add to a small saucepan with the water until it has all but boiled off.
In the meantime melt the butter and honey together in a large saucepan. When melted, stir in the sugar and porridge oats. Add two-thirds of the oat mix to the prepared tin and smooth down. Pour over the softened figs and level. Add the rest of the oats, smooth and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin before slicing into pieces.
