Oven 180c
Ingredients
- 280g dried figs
- 240ml water
- Pinch salt
- 1tbsp orange zest
- 3tbsp maple
- Base – 1tbsp ground flaxseed

- 100g oats
- 1/2tsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 4tbsp maple
- 80ml coconut oil, melted
- 1tsp vanilla
Directions
- Cut the stems off the figs and put in a pot with a pinch salt, orange zest, 240ml water and simmer for 30minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly then place in blender with the maple syrup and blend into a paste.
- Make a vegan egg by combining the flaxseed and 2/5tbsp water, mix and set aside for 5mins.
- Combine the oat flour, oats, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
- Next, combine the maple syrup, egg, vanilla and coconut oil together, fold in the dry ingredient and stir until combined.
- Press half the batter mix into a lined brownie tin (it is sticky so press it down with the back of a wet spoon) Next press the fix mix on top. Lastly drop bits of the remaining batter over the fig layer to make a crumble. Press down gently.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Leave aside to cool on a wire rack before cutting.
