Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch (3.5 L) baking dish with parchment paper. Whisk yogurt, eggs, bananas, honey and oil until combined. Stir in the dried berries and nuts.
Stir the whole-wheat flour with the all-purpose flour, flax, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl until combined. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
Spread the batter in the prepared baking dish; smooth the top. Bake for 35 minutes or until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. Makes 32 bars.
Tips
Wrapped tightly, bars will keep for up to 3 days. Freeze tightly wrapped bars for up to 1 month.
Replace nuts with additional fruit if packing bars in school lunches.
Dried berry blends are usually a combination of dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, currants and golden raisins; substitute any combination of dried fruit but be sure to chop any large fruits into small pieces.
