Made with just FIVE ingredients, these homemade fig newtons don’t even require you to turn on your oven! These delicious fig newton cookies remind me so much of the store-bought version, but honestly taste even better and are better for you!

Recipe type: Cookie, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: Vegan, No-Bake
Serves: 9-12 cookies
Ingredients
  • For Cookie Dough:
  • ½ cup homemade oat flour
  • ½ cup (about 1 serving/46 grams) vanilla plant-based protein powder OR additional ½ cup oat flour + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2-5 tablespoons milk
  • For Filling:
  • ⅓ cup homemade fig jam
Instructions
  1. Add oat flour, protein powder (or additional oat flour and brown sugar), cookie butter, cinnamon, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk to a blender or food processor (alternatively, you can use a bowl/spoon, but I found the cookie butter easier to mix up in a blender). Since I often have my blender out from making the homemade oat flour, this is what I usually use.
  2. Add additional milk if dough is too dry and crumbly, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough forms together. This will vary based on what type of protein powder you use.
  3. Divide dough in half and spread into a 7x5 rectangle (I had a glass container that was 7x5, or you can use part/most of a 8x5 or 9x5 loaf pan).
  4. Spread ⅓ cup homemade fig jam over bottom layer of cookie dough.
  5. Press remaining half of cookie dough over fig jam layer.
  6. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into 9-12 small squares.
  7. These cookies store best in the refrigerator as they get very soft at room temperature and stay fresh best in the fridge!
