Recipe Directions
1. Place the fig and date filling ingredients in a food processor and process into a paste. Set aside.
2. Process the pecans, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and sea salt in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add dates one at a time and process until the mixture starts to stick together.
3. In a small square baking pan, arrange half of the crumble as a base. Then spread all the fig and date mixture on top and sprinkle the remaining crumble on top.
4. Press layers together with the back of a spoon.
5. Cut into squares.
Crisyn's Thoughts
By Crisyn My mum used to make wonderful date squares when I was younger, and this is what I came up with after trying to create a gluten and sugar-free version. It just happens to be raw too!
If you want a warm square, you can place the pan in the dehydrator for a few hours.

I made them thsi moring with a pint of fresh figs. OMG delish. The filling is a bit gooey (which I can handle lol) so i put the tray in the freezer. i used a loaf pan and it looks to make about 12 1X2" squares.

I only had fresh figs and didn't want to do anything but engulf them plain, so I used prunes haha. They were incredible! Probably one of my favorite recipes here so far. Thank you! :) :)

mine are wet. I added water like a fool. I put them in the fridge, lets see how much damage I did. Seemed I had more nuttop than date filling....still smells yummies tho. Might just have to eat it out of the pan I guess. We'll see.

count me as another person who says: DEHYDRATE THESE!
They are super amazing oh-my-flying-spaghetti-monster good. I dehydrate them for about 4-6 hours, or until I can't wait anymore and start eating them. The base gets dry and cookie-like, the filling solidifies a bit. Mmmmmmm!
Thanks for the recipe!

This are delicious! I'm all new to this stuff - this is a great start! I used walnuts and added a bit of honey to the crumb mixture (maybe my dates were too small). Thanks..................
