fig, walnut and ginger slices recipe

Of all the dried fruit options, figs are a winner. Less sweet than, say, dates or raisins, they’re rich in calcium, potassium, iron and fibre.

Gut-friendly, they fill you up and help sustain your energy levels while you train. Combined in these cake slices with ginger and walnuts, they’re a marriage made in heaven.

Nutrient boost – Malt extract has powerful nutritional benefits. Add 1 heaped tbsp of malt alongside the sugar, but reduce the sugar to 50g from 75g.
