How to Make Homemade Fruit Bars: A Simple and Healthy Recipe

1 ½ cups (225g) dried fruits (e.g., dates, apricots, figs, raisins, or cranberries)
1 cup (100g) nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, or walnuts)
1 cup (100g) oats (rolled or quick oats)
2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

Prepare the ingredients: If the dried fruits are tough or dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften. Drain well before using.
Blend the mixture: In a food processor, combine the dried fruits, nuts, and oats. Pulse until the mixture comes together into a sticky, coarse paste.
Add extras: Add chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract if desired. Blend again until well incorporated. Adjust texture by adding a splash of water if it's too dry.
Shape the bars: Line a baking dish (8x8 inch works well) with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours or until firm.
Cut and store: Once set, cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.

For more flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or a dash of citrus zest.
Extra crunch: Fold in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or shredded coconut.
Vegan option: Use maple syrup instead of honey if needed.
Low-sugar option: Skip the sweetener; the natural sweetness of dried fruits is often enough.

These fruit bars are great for breakfast, a quick snack, or an energy boost during busy days
