    Nature’s Bakery Gluten-Free Fig Bars are Sweet on these Fruit Flavors

    By Alisa Fleming on July 8, 2015 Dairy-Free Cookie & Brownie Reviews, Dairy-Free Energy, Granola & Snack Bar Reviews, Product Reviews

    Nature’s Bakery won me over long ago with their wholesome, yet still dessert-worthy line of Fig Bars. Now my gluten-free friends and family members can enjoy these bars, too, with Nature’s Bakery Gluten-Free Fig Bars. Please note that the packaging has changed since we first tried these bars. I’ve kept my photos with the old packaging, which show the inside of the bars, but the current look is shown with the individual flavors in the writing below.

    Nature's Bakery Gluten-Free Fig Bars: Dairy-Free, Vegan and made with Ancient Grains (4 Flavors: Fig, Pomegranate, Raspberry, Blueberry)

    Nature’s Bakery Gluten-Free Fig Bars are Sweet on these Fruit Flavors

    Aside from the filling, all of Nature’s Bakery Gluten-Free Fig Bars are the same in ingredients and taste. Each has a cookie coating that is a little crumbly and a little dry, but not in a bad way. In fact, the sweet flavor has a wholesome treat vibe that is a bit addicting and goes great with hot tea. Nevertheless, these are notably sweeter than their classic line of Fig Bars. I’ve included a few tasting notes with each flavor.

    Pomegranate

    The filling starts out a little too sweet. But with each passing bite, more of the tart contrast emerged.

Pictured: PomegranateIngredients: brown rice syrup, fig paste, gluten free flour (tapioca starch, rice flour), canola oil, gluten free five grain flour (amaranth, quinoa, millet, sorghum, teff), brown rice flour (rice flour, rice bran), cane sugar, date paste, gluten free rolled oats, pomegranate juice concentrate, flaxseed, pomegranate powder, natural flavor, leavening (monocalcium phosphate, baking soda), xanthan gum, sea salt, citric acid.

    Blueberry

    This flavor of gluten-free fig bars was almost all sweet, with very little tart, and quite the flavor meld of indulgence.

    Raspberry

    This variety sways back to the tart side. It offers a nice puckering taste that keeps it, just barely, from venturing into the “too sweet” side.

    Original Fig

    Mmmm, there is still a special place in my heart for traditional fig bars! The filling in this one definitely delivered. The occasional bite was a little tart, which didn’t quite fit for me, but it was overall sweet, reminiscent and delicious.

    More Allergen Notes

    According to the company, they run a peanut and tree nut facility, and the only top allergen they process in their facility is wheat. Which is why they’re on our Dedicated Dairy-Free Facility company list.

    Good for satisfying dessert cravings

    Rated 4 out of 5
    April 4, 2019

    At last, a little packaged treat that offers some delicious nostalgia, uses quality ingredients, is suitable and “safe” for many dietary needs, and won’t break the bank! These generally affordable little cookies aren’t just like Newtons, but they offer the same vibe and have a wonderful, slightly crumbly cookie coating with four sweet-tart fillings to choose from. We did find each flavor just a little too sharply sweet overall, but good for satisfying dessert cravings.
