Fresh figs are exotic and add a delicate earthy flavour to foods. Although I love berries in my oats, the fresh figs add something special that will warm your soul. In this simple gluten free overnight oats recipe, the figs are caramelized in a tasty syrup that is flavoured with a hint of cinnamon, maple syrup, and lemon zest. Did you know that half a cup of fresh figs provides the same amount of calcium as half a cup of milk? But there is more, for instance, figs are an excellent source of several essential minerals, vitamins, and fiber. More on why fresh figs are so good for us by Dr. Mercola.
