Ingredients

  • 24 dried figs
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoon orange juice
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cup unbleached flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon applesauce
  • 1/2 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup oat bran

Instructions

  1. Add figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tbsp lemon juice to food processor and mix on "chop" until fig bits are finely cut. Set aside.
     
  2. Put all other ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer 3 - 4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture and beat until everything blends.
     
  3. Roll 20 - 24 balls and coat with oat bran poured on a plate.
     
  4. Place balls on a pan and bake at 350 deg. for 10 minutes, or until they are warm and a bit puffy.
