HERSHEY'S | Chocolate Chips and Raspberry Bars. Skinny Figgy Bars. I hope you enjoy this “rerun” of a recipe I associate closely with Christmas. It’s my low-fat, veganized interpretation of the fig-filled cookies my husband’s grandmother always made for Christmas. D looked forward to those cookies every year, and once he married a vegan, his grandmother often made a special egg-free batch just for us. Sadly, she’s no longer with us, but I think of her whenever I make these fig bars. I made an impulse buy the other day, one of those “rings” of dried figs.

I’ve been missing fresh figs all summer, so when I saw these dried figs in the store, I bought them without thinking. But then they sat on my kitchen counter taunting me with memories of my yummy, but definitely not low-fat, Holiday Fig Bars. Since I’ve been trying to cut down on sugar and refined foods lately, making a batch of those bars would not be in my best interest.

You will be amazed at how good these are. Ingredients Filling: Crust: Instructions Preheat oven to 375 F. Number of servings (yield): 16. Vegan Sugar Cookies Recipe. Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread.
