3. 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.
4. Add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients (from step 2). Mix well to combine.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
