Paleo Fig Newton Bites made with less than 8 ingredients and filled with fresh fig jamPaleo Fig Newton Bites made with less than 8 ingredients

Full disclosure, this recipe was 100% not planned. I had no intention of making fig jam or these fig newton bites whatsoever.

I went a bit fig crazy at Whole Foods and we had SO many in the kitchen. We could have easily shoved them all in our mouths but then I realized I had never actually baked with a fig before (amateur over here).

Jord thought I was going to join him on the couch for TV time but next thing you know I am blending together figs and mixing random things to make these.

Speaking of TV, can we just chat about how ridiculous cable is? We recently got Apple TV instead of cable in our new apartment. When we found out cable was going to cost over $150 for ONE TV, I was literally shocked. Who the beep wants to spend that much money a year on watching cable? Meanwhile I think I sat down to actually watch TV no more than a dozen times this year. I end up sitting on the couch with my phone or laptop and don’t even pay attention to the television screen. Does anyone else do this?

There are a couple of shows I can watch sans laptop or phone like Billions, The Affair and Scandal. But that’s about it. Also did you see on my Instagram stories recently that I saw Damien Lewis on the street? YUP! You better believe I said hi. I never really say hello to celebrities when I see them but something came over me when I walked by him and flat out said “I love you, huge fan”. He then proceeded to wink at me and say “thank you”.

We’re basically dating now.. And if you are asking who this is, I suggest watching Billions and Homeland ASAP.

Okay back to these Easy Paleo Fig Newton Bites. They are gluten-free, vegan and just all around flipping GOOOOD my friends. If you make them, tell me or share via social media! I can’t wait to see.
