24 Dried figs
4 tb Orange juice
1 ts Lemon juice
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 tb Applesauce
2 Egg whites
1/3 c Honey
2 tb Lemon juice
2 1/2 c Unbleached flour
1 c Oat bran
1/4 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Dark corn syrup
Add figs, honey, orange juice, and 2 tb lemon juice to food processor
and mix on "chop" until fig bits are finely cut. Set aside.
Put all other ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat with
an electric mixer 3 to 4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture and
beat until everything blends. Roll 20 to 24 balls and coat with oat
bran poured on a plate. Place balls on a pan and bake at 350 F for
10 minutes, or until they are warm and a bit puffy. Place in a
refrigerator to harden.
For a crunchier texture, bake 2 to 5 minutes longer, or until dough
is thoroughly cooked.
