If you happen to make them, tag me on Facebook or Instagram because I would love to see it! I’m just beyond pleased with how these turned out. I switched up the base recipe quite a bit, subbing some almond flour to make them more nutritious and to add a nutty flavor that I feel like Fig Newtons possesses. It was very simple and gave options for a date and apricot and a prune-orange filling, but we all know that figs are the new prunes. The inspiration came from a vintage fruit crumb bar recipe I found in one of my books. That being said, these would battle out any chocolate dessert any day. Sit a fruit bar and chocolate chip cookie in front of me and the cookie will be gone faster than you can say monster. I’m a die-hard chocolate person too, by the way. These bars right here are the dessert bar version of everything I wish a Fig Newton was. I’ve always had a thing for Fig Newtons, but even as a kid I wished that they were slightly moister and had more texture. Today, I think I’ve found it in these Fig and Orange Crumb Bars. People ask me all the time what my favorite recipe on the blog is. This is a simple fig recipe that will be a hit all year long!
