Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the butter, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and optional salt. Using two forks or a pastry cutter, cut butter into dry ingredients until a sandy mixture with peas-sized buttery bits forms.
- Reserve 3/4 cup of this mixture; set aside.
- Transfer remaining mixture into prepared pan and using your fingertips or the back of a spatula, lightly press crumbs evenly into pan to form a crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes. While crust bakes, make the filling.
- In a large bowl (same one used to make the crust mixture is fine) add the egg, 1/2 cup sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup flour, and whisk until smooth; set aside.
- Remove crust from oven and top evenly with pineapple chunks. About 90% of the surface area will be covered with pineapple; chunks will be very close to each other but not quite touching.
- Carefully and evenly pour the sour cream mixture over the pineapple, making sure to get it into the corners.
- Evenly sprinkle the reserved crust mixture over the top to create the crumble topping.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until edges and top are set.
- Place pan on top of a wire rack and allow bars to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- Line a small cookie sheet or quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.
- Spray a large bowl. Add the almonds, pecans, dried pineapple, millet, oats and coconut flake and stir well.
- In a medium saucepot fitted with a candy thermometer, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, pineapple juice concentrate and salt; mix together with a heatproof spatula. Place the pot over high heat and cook the syrup to the soft-ball stage (240 degrees F), about 10 minutes.
- Pour the syrup over the nut mixture and toss well. Scrape onto the prepared cookie sheet and press firmly and evenly into a tight, compact layer. Cool for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 to 20 bars. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the bars need to bake longer.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
