Gluten-Free Vegan Fig Tart

• • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 1/3 gluten-free oat flakes flour
  • 1/3 cup ground walnuts
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 flax egg
  • 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 12 figs

• • As this is a vegan tart, we’ll start by replacing the egg. Mix 2 tablespoons of flax seed flour with 7 tablespoons of hot water until you achieve a gluey consistency resembling egg white. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine plant-based milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, the flax egg you prepared earlier, rolled oats, oat flakes flour, ground walnuts, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon juice (to activate the baking soda).
  • Cut the figs in half.
  • Drizzle olive oil over a baking tray, sprinkle it with coconut sugar, and place the figs on the tray with the cut side facing down.
  • Pour the prepared dough over the figs.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes.
  • Once done, carefully flip the tart upside down so that the figs are on top.
  • For an appealing finish, sprinkle some ground walnuts on top.
  • Serve your vegan fig tart with a side of plant-based vanilla ice cream for a truly delightful taste experience. Enjoy!
