Recipe Review: Fig Newtons!




A woman at work brought in fresh home grown figs.  I've never baked with them before but grabbed a few and decided I could find some sort of clean mug cake that used them in the recipe.  I found something better...Homemade Fig Newtons!!  I just have to say first how EASY they are to make.  Definitely a better way to eat the treat without the additives that make it an 'unclean' choice.


CLICK HERE for the recipe!  
is a blog by Melissa, who shares her healthy lifestyle journey, clean recipes and many tips!  You should go check it out...I already found many more recipes I would like to try making!


I substituted a I used agave nectar for maple syrup because I did not have it on  hand.  I also added a lot more cinnamon than the recipe calls for.  Keep in mind when rolling the dough, a good amount of flour was needed to keep it from sticking to the table.  When I made it, I cut the recipe in three so what you see here is how many that made!


So I got 12 fig newtons making 1/3 of the recipe.  Here is a picture  to show the size I made them...


ENJOY!  And don't forget to check out Melissa's website!!
