Chia Power Bars

2 cups of old fashioned oats
1 cup pitted prunes - you could also use cranberries, dates, raisins, apricots, essentially any dried fruit!
1/4 cup chia seeds
3 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp almond milk - any non-dairy milk will work
(optional agave or stevia for sweetness, to taste)

Line a 8x8 square pan with two pieces of parchment paper, one going each way - this will allow the bars to release from the pan and be lifted out.
Place the oats in the food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds.
Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until the mixture comes together. Be patient. About 3 minutes.
Press the mixture evenly down into the pan.
Freeze for about 15 minutes, then cut into 10 pieces. Store in an air tight container. You can also wrap them in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for on-the-go! Enjoy!
