• 1 cup (55 g) unsweetened large coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup raw, hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup (70 g) packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 large egg white
• 1 cup (30 g) crushed freeze-dried strawberries, plus more for topping

For the Yogurt Glaze:

• 1 tsp gelatin powder
• 2 1/2 tsp lukewarm water
• 1 cup (115 g) powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

• Place racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Heat to 400°F.
• Using cooking spray, grease an 8" baking pan, cover with parchment paper, and spray the parchment, leaving an overhang.

Step 2: Toast the Dry Ingredients

• On a separate big rimmed baking sheet, spread coconut + pumpkin seeds; on the first, spread oats.
• For coconut, bake for 10 minutes; for oats, 14 minutes, turning and tossing halfway through.

Step 3: Get the Wet Ingredients Ready

• Lower the oven to 325°F.
• In a big microwave-safe bowl, heat butter until melted, roughly 30 seconds.
• Whisk in brown sugar, honey, vanilla, and salt until mixed and sugar dissolves.
• Whisking vigorously until well mixed, add egg white.

Ingredient Combination: Step 4

• Fold the butter mixture into the toasted oats, coconut mixture, and freeze-dried strawberries.
• Using the back of a spoon, transfer to the prepared pan and compact a little.
• Bake till golden, 24 to 28 minutes.

Step 5: Slice and Cool

• Allow the pan to cool totally on a wire rack.
• Use the parchment overhang to move the bars to a cutting board. Cut into twelve bars.

Step 6: Make the Yogurt Glaze

• Sprinkle gelatin over water in a microwave-safe basin and let it hydrate for five minutes.
• For five seconds, microwave on high, mix, and then repeat until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
• Whisk until smooth using Greek yogurt and powdered sugar.

Step 7: Glaze the Bars

• Drizzle the yogurt glaze over the cut bars.
• Add more crushed freeze-dried strawberries to sprinkle.
• Allow at least 30 minutes for the glaze to set.
