Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tray or line with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.
Chop the dried apricots and figs into small pieces and add them to the bowl along with the raisins, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated and begins to stick together.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tray, pressing down gently to compact each bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy as a healthy snack or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
