Anyone have a recipe for Fig bars like Fig Newtons? To make homemade? Like the healthy ones at whole foods?

does anyone have a recipe like this, the "fig newtons" brand fig bars are very sugary.





They're really healthy with little to no preservatives, sugar, etc at whole foods grocery store bakery department, just 100% fig paste and the dough around it?
