Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Cover an 8-inch x 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Place prunes, raisins and apricots in a mini-chopper or food processor and pulse until well chopped.
Combine flour, oats, chopped fruit mixture, nuts, cacao nibs and 2/3 cup water in a large bowl and knead with your hands until a ball of dough forms.
Press dough firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Cut into squares with a sharp knife before placing in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until baked through but still soft (don’t over-bake them or the bars will be dry and tough).
Leftover bars should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

Whole wheat, spelt or all-purpose flour will also work.
To save time on chopping your nuts, you can place them in your food processor or mini-chopper and pulse until well chopped.
