Fig Coconut Crumble Bars With Collagen Peptides

Fig Coconut Crumble Bars with Collagen Peptides makes for the perfect Fall dessert complete with crisp oats & coconut flakes. Gluten & dairy free.

Fig Coconut Crumble With Collagen Peptides - Gluten & Dairy Free

I was planning on making these fig bars two weeks ago. I’ve been going to this amazing healer in Portsmouth, NH & on the way home I pass by Trader Joe’s. So two weeks ago I bought a two-pound package of black figs & I was ready to go. 

Finally, I had a free afternoon & I was in the mood to bake. I open the fridge, open the plastic container of figs. Pick one up. And to my surprise…they were covered in mold.

Lovely.

Into the garbage they went.

Fast forward two weeks, I had my follow up appointment & you KNOW that I stopped on Traders on my way home AGAIN & left with none other than BLACK FIGS!

This time I acted quick. I made this Fig Coconut Crumble the same night as buying the figs so there was NO shot mold was going to get in my way again.

So I actually have a slight obsession with figs, beginning when I was younger. My mom NEVER bought Fig Newtons but they were always at my cousins. On the way home from my cousins house every time, I ate Fig Newtons & Vanilla Wafers. Every. Single. Time.

Literally haven’t had a fig since.

Until Sweden. In Sweden, my meals literally consisted of: avocado toast with fried eggs for dinner & gluten free granola with dried figs, bananas, & gluten free oat milk for breakfast. I ate it every single day & never got tired of it. And yes, that’s coming from a girl who craves food variety.

Fast forward back to last week…I literally thought for days about a creative way to use the figs. I thought about it for a little too long as you know (cough cough MOLD).

Okay, I promise that’s the last time I’ll bring it up LOL!

I used some inspiration from Pinterest & put my own spin on a updated gluten free & dairy free Fig Newton bar.

Let me assure you, although I haven’t had a Fig Newton since the early 2000s, I promise this Fig Coconut Crumble beats a classic Fig Newton ANY DAY. They are amazing. In the recipe below, you’ll also notice that I added collagen, but that step is optional but I find working collagen into your diet can be extremely beneficial!

Either way, this recipe is delicious & perfect for fall. If I ate regular ice cream, better believe I would add a scoop of ice cream on top of a warm square of this crumble. A girl can dream!

These fig bars also contain chia seeds. When chia seeds are combined with a liquid, the seeds soak up the liquid & create a jelly-like consistency. I used 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in the fig jam mixture to create a thicker consistency & I love the way it turned out. Chia seeds also have amazing health benefits that I go over in my last post, which is an added bonus to this recipe!
