Ingredients

• 1 and ½ cup quick cook oats
• ½ cup wholewheat or normal plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 and ½ cups fresh figs (roughly chopped)
• 1 cup flaked almonds
• ¼ cup raisins roughly chopped
• ½ cup mild olive oil
• 1 to 2 tbsp of seeds e.g. flaxeeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C
2. Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
3. Add oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and ginger to a large bowl and mix to combine.
4. Add figs, flaked almonds, raisins and stir to combine.
5. Add oil to the flour mixture until just combined.
6. Drop ¼ cup scoops of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space around each one. Flatten each until they are 3/4 of an inch thick.
7. Bake for 15-17 mins, until golden and firm around the edges. Leave to cool on the tray for 10 mins then transfer to cooking racks. It will come out slightly soft but has a nice texture.
