Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 6 ounces dried black mission figs, chopped
• 5 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract for an additional minute.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the wet ingredients mixing on low speed, slowly incorporate in the dry ingredients until almost combined. Remove from mixer and fold in oats, figs, and chocolate with a spatula.
• Spread the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bars. Allow to cool on cooling rack before serving!
