Fig Oatmeal Crumb Bars

"I used to think that figs were "old lady food". But recently I was asked to make some kind of fig bar, and do you know what? They weren’t bad at all. In fact, they were pretty darn good! Who knew?! Actually, I’m feeling kind of silly now for avoiding them for so long... I started with the base recipe for my favourite oatmeal bars. This time, increasing the spice, and filling it with a thick figgy layer. These are perfect for fall, but I couldn’t help but notice how well their flavours would fit in on a Christmas platter too."
