Gluten-Free Vegan Prune Bars (Fig Bar Twist)

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix together the applesauce, coconut oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until you form a dough; it shouldn’t be dry or too sticky. If it’s dryer add more orange juice. In a small bowl, add the prunes and warm water and let sit for a couple minutes until softened, then drain. Add California grown prunes to a blender along with the rest of the filling ingredients (orange juice from half an orange, orange zest, honey) and blend. Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll until you get a long rectangle. Place California grown prune filling in the middle of the dough then take one side of the parchment and fold. Do the same on the other side, like a pamphlet! Place the log of dough seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and cut into about 12 pieces and separate. Bake for 12-15 minutes and let cool!
