Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
Place the dried apricots in a food processor and process until they are finely chopped.
Add rolled oats, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, and ground flaxseed to the food processor and pulse a few times to mix everything together.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl and add in honey, melted coconut oil, chia seeds, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, pressing down gently to pack the ingredients.
