Heat oven to 350°. Spread oats and oat bran in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown cool. Increase oven temperature to 400°. Cut margarine into flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt with pastry blender in large bowl until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in oat mixture and figs. Stir in egg whites and just enough buttermilk so dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges but do not separate. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with oats if desired. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet carefully separate wedges. Serve warm.
