Fig, Orange, Cranberry And California Walnut Raw Flapjacks
Preparation: 1 hour 30 mins
Serves: 16
You’ll need:
100g dried figs
120g California walnuts, plus 16 whole walnuts to garnish
150g oats
Zest of 1 orange
50g flaxseed
100g medjool dates
40ml maple syrup
60ml melted coconut oil
60g dried cranberries
Method
- Grease a small, square, deep sided baking tray with a little coconut oil and line with baking parchment.
- Place the figs in a small bowl, pour over enough hot water to cover them and leave to soak for 20 minutes, then drain.
- Meanwhile, place the 120g of walnuts and half the oats into a food processor and blitz until they are the texture of course sand.
- Add the orange zest, flaxseed, medjool dates, maple syrup, coconut oil and drained soaked figs to the food processor. Process until the mixture comes together into one lump.
- Tip the mixture into a mixing bowl and add in the remaining oats and cranberries, kneading them in with your hands.
- Tip the mixture into your prepared tray and smooth down with the back of a spoon, pushing the mixture into the corners.
- Place into the fridge to set for around 1 hour, or until firm to the touch.
- Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife and place a walnut on top of each square to serve.
