What You Will Need

• Walnuts - adds healthy fats, protein, crunch and a nutty flavour. Feel free to substitute any nuts you have on hand - pecans, cashews, almonds, etc. 
• Oats - Rolled oats create a hearty, chewy texture that’s filled with fibre. We wouldn’t recommend either Steel Cut Oats or Quick Oats for this recipe, Old fashioned oats work best.
• Baking Powder - for a little rise!
• Cinnamon - for a warm flavour that pairs well with maple syrup.
• Dried Figs - adds sweet flavour and chewy texture to make this dish absolutely irresistible!
• Butter - you just need a couple of tablespoons in this recipe! It really rounds out this dish creating a creamier texture.
• Maple Syrup - for sweetness! Both agave and date syrup also will work very well as substitutes.
• Egg - act as a binder, holding the oatmeal together. If you are a vegan or don’t eat eggs, flax eggs are a great option!
• Milk - the oats need liquid to hold everything together. Use your milk of choice, whether it’s plant-based or cow’s milk any milk will work.
• Fresh Figs - the most perfect topping for this recipe! They create a wonderful sweet, jammy addition, not to mention it adds the most beautiful colour! If you don’t have fresh figs or they are not in season, simply substitute dried figs or drizzle fig jam on top.
