Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease the sides and bottom of a 9" x 13" glass baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, coconut sugar, maple syrup, oat flour, almond flour, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt.
1 3/4 cups rolled oats, 1 1/4 cup oat flour, 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Take half of the mixture and press it down firmly into a very thin layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
To make the filling, blend the figs, lemon juice, vanilla, and spices in a food processor or high speed blender until it turns to puree.
3 1/2 pounds fresh figs, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Then spread the puree evenly over the oat crust and sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is just beginning to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to the fridge for a few hours or overnight to set before slicing into individual bars.
