Figs oat bars

September 3, 2019 By travellingoven 5 Comments

September has arrived exactly how it should, with cool winds and first rain in a long time. You know the one that approaches slowly, with lightning and thunders from great distance, the shift in the air, sound of tree branches starting swaying in the wind, slight shivers you feel when the temperature drops… For me it feels like coming home. I don’t know what it is about Autumn and Winter that puts my soul in its natural state, comfortable, familiar, comforting. It could be the slight melancholy and romantic character of these seasons that matches my personality, the beauty nature gifts us colouring the world in colourful but still subtle and calming palettes, excitement that can compare to the one of new beginnings…

It’s also the time of the year when my creativity is at its peak, everything around me inspires and fills me with the strong desire to capture the beauty and create something that will last, that will possibly inspire someone or bring comfort and pleasure. These days I see many photographers become swept away by fast pace of the world, social media rules and so on, they lose their focus and become obsessed with popularity, numbers, statistics. I will never allow myself that to happen, if it happens, I’ll stop doing this. I do photography because it’s my passion, it’s part of me and my soul, it’s the way I express myself and nothing can compare to that. Even if it means that I will never be ‘popular enough’ or ‘successful enough’.

What does that mean anyway? Isn’t the biggest success when you feel that your work is part of who you are and you don’t compromise that no matter what. When your work fills you up with excitement and joy, with butterflies in your stomach. When you feel like your work is much more that that, it’s your way of life.

There is such beauty in late Summer too as it gives us a hint of what’s to come, nights are cooler, rain refreshing, fruit sweet and juicy. To honour it I was inspired by one of my favourite fruit, figs, to create this simple recipe for which you need only few basic ingredients and you’ll get these not overly sweet figs oat bars that make a great breakfast with a glass of milk or a little afternoon treat. Hope you’ll give it a try and let me know if you do!

Author: Lili
Serves: 15 bars
Ingredients
  • For crust:
  • 1 cup spelt flour ( or wholewheat)
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar (or raw cane sugar)
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil
  • For filling:
  • ½ kg (1 pound) fresh figs, washed and chopped
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
  • *This makes slightly sweet bars so if you like sweeter desserts, you can use ½ cup sugar for the crust and add 1-2 tbsp in the figs filling.
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C / 350 F.
  2. Line a 20 x 20 cm / 8 x 8 inch baking dish with baking paper.
  3. Start by preparing fig filling. In a medium size saucepan combine chopped figs, water and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat for about 15 min stirring occasionally. You can add some more water if it starts to stick to the saucepan. Let it cool while you prepare oat crust.
  4. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, coconut sugar and salt. Add melted coconut oil and stir well to combine.
  5. Take ⅔ of oat mixture and press it into prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the fig filling evenly over the oat mixture and finally sprinkle the remaining ⅓ of aot mixture on top.
  7. Bake for about 30 min or until golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool before cutting into bars. Keep in the fridge and enjoy!

Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so every day I've been drinking lemonade made with organic lemons from my parents' garden and sweetened with honey. What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨

When I think of my happy place, I visualize this.. When I think of my happy place, I visualize this... mountains, nature, snow in winter, green meadows and forests in summer, house like this (it can be smaller I’m ok with that 😅), fireplace... How about you, how does a happy place from your imagination looks like? 
Reality is nice and cozy too, going to have a slice of cake and a glass of milk now and watch a movie. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone! 🤗

Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 T Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 Today it was a beautiful cold and sunny morning, a long walk in the park with a friend talking about life. There is something that I noticed about myself lately, a shift within me, a change in a way I live and feel. The more I focus my gratitude on small moments, the more I feel at peace. The more I accept that not everything happens the way I would want to, the more I’m happy with what I have. Two years ago when life circumstances were actually much better for me in terms of work, socializing, opportunities for fun and travel, I was fighting depression, horrible anxiety, panic attacks, PTSP... Today when life is more challenging on every level, I feel more like myself again, stronger and hopeful. Sure bad day happens but that’s normal and that’s ok. It only shows how much we can do for ourselves with hard work, therapy, introspection, taking small steps each day... Sharing this in case somebody needs a bit of encouragement.❤️

Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m down: thick rich dark hot chocolate, good music, candles, writing down in my journal dreams - big and small, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the moment... 😊 One thing that I’m grateful for is that no matter how difficult the circumstances, I can always daydream and imagine beautiful exciting things, places and experiences. Sometimes all we need is a bit of hope and imagination...✨
