Fruit and Nut Bars

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Cover an 8-inch x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. 2. Place prunes, raisins and apricots in a mini-chopper or food processor and pulse until well chopped. 3. 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. 4. Press dough firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Cut into squares with a sharp knife before placing in the oven. 5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until baked through but still soft (don’t over-bake them or the bars will be dry and tough). 6. Leftover bars should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for 1-2 weeks.
