Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch square baking or cake pan. In the work bowl of a food processor, place 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup oats, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse until oats are ground, 7 to 8 times. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond extracts. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with 3/4 cup yogurt, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition. Gently fold in 2 cups figs. Spread batter in prepared pan. Top with Oatmeal Almond Streusel (Yes, I use all of it). Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Streusel: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in 5 Tablespoons cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup figs and 1/3 cup almonds. Set aside. Notes: * When making the streusel topping, make sure your butter is very cold. Using a pastry cutter or a fork works well to create the crumbles needed as the streusel ingredients are combined. Be sure to add the sliced almonds and figs AFTER the other topping ingredients have been cut together. * Check the coffee cake when the baking time has about 25 minutes remaining. If the outside of the cake is already really brown, you may tent a piece of aluminum foil over the cake for about 15 minutes but don't forget to remove it again during the last 10 minutes to let the center continue to crisp and finish. * Allow at least 20 minutes for the cake to cool after removing from the oven before you cut the coffee cake. Otherwise, the cut pieces kind of fall apart. After 20 minutes of cooling, the cake is still nice and warm.
