FIG OAT TREATS

8 figs
about 1/2 cup oats
cinnamon (of course!)
drizzle of honey
handful of almonds

Yes I know, this is probably one of the least specific recipes I have made but honestly, I threw all this in a blender...having to scrape down the sides a couple times...then rolled them into bite sized balls to have as treats!  Threw them in the freezer so that I do not eat them all!

Enjoy!!

You can add chocolate chips if you would like OR for lower calories....after the bites have been refrigerated/in the freezer, mix together 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1 tsp vanilla, and 3 tbsp cocoa powder.  You can add some powder sugar if you want to.  Then drizzle on top as seen in the pictures and put back in refrigerator until ready to devour!!
