Ingredients

1 cup prunes
1 cup dried cranberries unsweetened
1/2 cup walnuts toasted
1/2 cup almonds toasted
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon chia seeds
2 teaspoons walnut oil or coconut oil, plus more if needed

Instructions

Line an 8x8-inch pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.
Add walnuts and almonds to a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped.
Add prunes, cranberries, flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnut oil.
Process until mixture becomes sticky and begins clumping together. If too dry, add a little more oil, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Press down firmly into an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Lift out using parchment paper and cut into 8 bars or bite-sized squares.
Store chilled and enjoy.

Notes

Swap cranberries for chopped dates, apricots, figs, or cherries.
Use pecans, cashews, or hazelnuts instead of almonds or walnuts.
Keep refrigerated for best texture.
Freeze individually wrapped bars for easy grab-and-go snacks.
