Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat flour, oats, butter, wheat germ, orange peel, and 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar in a large bowl at low speed until just mixed. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes (mixture will look dry).
Shape mixture into a ball with lightly floured hands, then pat into 8x8-inch baking pan.
Beat eggs with a 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar in a small bowl; stir in almonds and coconut. Pour evenly over mixture in pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the bar mixture comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Cut into 12 pieces.
