1 ½ cups dried figs

1/4 cup Goji berries

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

1 tablespoon coconut nectar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Soak chia seeds in water for an hour.

Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper

Add ground flaxseed, walnuts, figs, goji berries, coconut flakes, coconut nectar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt into a food processor and process until mixed well.

Pour the chia seed mixture into the food processor and blend until well combined. The mixture will feel slightly wet.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and put it in the fridge and allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes.

Once it has set, remove it from the refrigerator and cut into eighteen 3-inch x 11⁄2-inch bars with a sharp knife.

Serve the bars at once, or cover the bars and store them in the fridge or the freezer for up to 1 month.
