Yield: 12 servings

Polynesian Fruit Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (blended oats)
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 cups coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup banana, mashed
  • 1 cup (more if needed) orange juice
  • 20 ounce can pineapple, crushed (unsweetened)
  • 2 cups dates, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In blender or food processor, blend enough oats to make 1 cup oat flour.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup oat flour, 3 cups oats, coconut, walnuts, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the banana and orange juice.
  5. Then combine the juice mixture with the dry ingredients. If needed, add more orange juice to make the oat mixture hold together.
  6. Press half of the oat mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking pan and set aside.
  7. Add the pineapple and dates to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring frequently. Cook and stir until the mixture is thickened.
  8. Spread thickened fruit mixture over the oat mixture.
  9. Top with remaining oat mixture.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes or until the fruit bars start to brown.

Notes

You can use any other nuts in place of the walnuts.

To make the oat flour, blend enough old fashioned oats to make 1 cup of oat flour. I sometimes make enough oat flour to make another Polynesian Fruit Bars recipe later.
