These Oatmeal Fig Jam Squares are irresistible and so easy to make with Quaker® Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats and a few simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. I love to use sweet fig jam especially during the holiday season but you can definitely customize it to whatever jam you like or have on hand. In the summer I love to use peach jam and in the fall to use spiced apple and cranberry jam.

This past year I’ve had the pleasure of working with one of my favorite brands, Quaker® Oats featuring some of my favorite recipes from sweet to even savory! Here’s a list of the recipes in case you missed any!

I couldn’t resist ending 2016 on a sweet note with these delicious Oatmeal Fig Jam Squares. And unlike other fig jam squares I add a little secret ingredient that truly make these irresistible. Curious to what it is? Well, I like to add a little splash of almond extract which just makes already tasty bars even better plus I love that hint of almond combined with the sweet fig jam! They’re simply fabulous!

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy New Year!

  1. These were so good! I made them thinner by using a 13×9 baking dish, adjusted cook time to 25 min. The almond extract is what makes it!!! Scrumptious.

  2. Hi Jenn- I absolutely love this recipe! I use my homemade fig jam and they’re always a huge hit!! The almond flavor matched so well with the figs. Excellent! Thank you for the easy but delicious recipe!

  3. I made these and my husband and loved them! I am making them again today, but at my husband’s request, I am using blueberry preserves. So happy to have found this recipe!

  4. I have made these several times with my dad’s homemade fig jelly and they are delicious!! Occasionally, I will add sliced almonds to the crust.

  5. I was looking for a way to use the various fig jams we opened over the holidays and THIS WAS IT. These fig bars were delicious. I subbed vegan butter for regular butter and the results were fantastic – bubbly just out of the oven, cooked to a perfect crunchy/chewy consistency. Entire pan consumed over the course of a dinner party, enjoyed with and without vanilla ice cream. Definitely a keeper.

  6. I never write reviews but these were absolutely delicious! I almost didn’t make due to the one bad review, glad I ignored that review. Made exactly to recipe and they look just like the pictures! Will never buy a fig square again!
    Thanks for sharing
