Most energy-bite recipes rely only on dried fruit; fresh figs give these a softer, lighter texture. Because fresh fruit adds moisture, the batch is cooked briefly and stored chilled.

Method
01
Cook chopped figs and dates in a dry non-stick pan over medium-low heat until jammy and most free moisture has evaporated.
02
Stir in toasted oats, ground seeds, cardamom and salt; cook for another minute.
03
Cool until safe to handle, then roll into 12 small balls with damp hands.
04
Chill for one hour to firm before serving.
Kitchen notes
Remove every date pit before chopping.
Refrigerate in a covered box and finish within three days because the recipe uses fresh figs.
