ORIGINAL RECIPE: Prune bars

1 cup brown sugar
1.25 c flour
1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
.5 t baking soda
.25 t salt
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
3/4 cup coarsely ground oats (run steel-cut or rolled oats through a food processor coffee grinder)
1 cup prunes, soaked in enough warm water to just cover for 30 minutes, then chopped

Preheat oven to 375. Combine first 8 ingredients in a bowl with your hands; mush around till coarsely combined like strudel. Smush half the mixture into a 13x9 pan to form a crust. Spread chopped prunes in a layer over bottom crust. Spread the remaining flour mixture over the prunes and smush. Bake till the crust is ... crusty.

Would probably be good with vanilla ice cream.
