Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).

Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for about 30 seconds until it’s creamy. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes fluffy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, all-purpose flour, and wheat germ until well combined.

Form the Base: Press the mixture evenly into an ungreased 9x9x2 inch baking pan to form the base of your bars.

Bake the Base: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Prepare the Topping: While the base is baking, in another mixing bowl, beat the eggs, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, almonds, coconut, and raisins together until thoroughly mixed.
-
Assemble and Bake: After the base has baked for 10 minutes, pour the egg mixture evenly over the oat base in the pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top turns a golden brown.
-
Score and Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and while the bars are still warm, use a knife to score them into individual bars. Allow them to cool completely in the pan.
