Description
Pan de Higo, also known as Spanish Fig Cake or Spanish Fig Bread, is a traditional Spanish dessert, snack, or appetizer made from just figs and almonds. It's naturally free of gluten and added sugars, typically having just nuts, dried fruit, cinnamon, brandy, and sometimes honey. These are essentially Larabars, which are energy snack bars made from just dried fruit and nuts.

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 1 lb Dried figs
- 4 oz Almonds
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Rum extract
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- In a powerful food processor, blend together dried fruit, nuts, cinnamon, and extract until as combined as possible. You'll end up with a very sticky dough spinning around in your food processor. You want as little bits of fruit and nuts as you can, but some chunks are okay
- Line a small container (my glass ones are 6.2x4.5") with parchment paper. Press the dough into the pan, and top with parchment paper. Press dough hard to spread it to all sides, and ensure an even thickness. Remove the paper top
- Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing. Optionally, coat the outsides of the cut pieces in cocoa powder to prevent sticking
Notes
- Any unsweetened dried fruit can work in place of figs, such as dates, raisins, or prunes
- You can also swap out the almonds; try peanuts, pistachios, cashews, or sunflower seeds
- Swap the extract for whatever you want too, such as vanilla, mint, or almond
