Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine raw cashews, almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, sugar-free maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a sticky, crumbly dough and the cashews are finely ground.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly and evenly with your hands or the back of a spoon to form a flat layer.
Sprinkle chia seeds and dark chocolate chips evenly over the top, gently pressing them into the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until the mixture is firm.
Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the slab from the pan.
Cut into 12 even bars using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
