Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier texture.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor until they are finely ground, like flour. This will help the bars hold together better.
- Be sure to use ripe figs. Unripe figs will be tart and not as flavorful.
- If you don't have any walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or pecans.
- For a sweeter bar, add more honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- Be sure to press the mixture firmly into the pan before baking. This will help the bars hold together better.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
