- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt recommended), 2 large egg whites, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup chopped prunes, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.
- Add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients (from step 2). Mix well to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
