No Bake Oatmeal Bars (Healthy Snacking)
These healthy no-bake oatmeal bars with apricots, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds are a delicious and nutritious snack option that requires minimal effort.

Ingredients
7 oz (200g) dried apricots, plus extra for decoration
1/4 cup (60g) maple syrup
1/2 cup (100g) coconut oil
2 cups (200g) rolled oats
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup (120 g) toasted almonds
2 tbsp (20 g) chia seeds
1/3 cup (40g) pumpkin seeds 
1/3 cup (80g) melted dark chocolate
2 tsp coconut oil

Method

* Transfer the apricots to a small bowl and cover with hot water. Leave to soak for 5 minutes (this will help them break down), then drain and transfer to a food processor along with the maple syrup and coconut oil. Process until fully combined.
* Add the oats to the food processor and pulse half a dozen times until mostly combined. Then transfer the contents of the food processor to a mixing bowl. 
* Roughly chop the almonds and pumpkin seeds, and add them to the bowl along with the chia seeds. Stir everything until fully incorporated. 
* Line a 7” square tin with baking paper and pour the mixture into the tin. Even out the top with the back of a metal spoon or by pushing down using a small piece of baking paper. Then decorate with a few apricots on top and even out the top again, pushing the apricots into the mixture.
* Pop the tin in the fridge for 2 hours/overnight. 
* Remove the bars from the tin.
* Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl on top of a saucepan containing a little water on a medium heat. Once the chocolate has melted, transfer it to a small glass or bowl.
* Dunk the end of each bar into the chocolate and place on a piece of baking paper to cool.
* All done! Keep the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
