Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, chopped dried apricots, chopped dates, shredded coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Add baking soda and salt, then mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, pressing down gently to compact the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
