Directions
Combine apricots and dates in a food processor until they're finely chopped. Add vanilla, almond butter, water and cocoa powder. Process until you get a crumbly paste and all ingredients are well mixed.

Add soy flour, soy nuts and rolled oats. Process until all are combined and the soy nuts are chopped up.

Add all-bran cereal, pulse a few times to combine. The cereal should still be intact - don't over process.

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Transfer bar mix to pan and spread evenly. Fold the edges of the plastic wrap onto the surface of the bar mix. Take a second loaf pan and put it inside the first, press down firmly to pack the bars.

Place loaf pan in the fridge for 5-10 minutes, or until they're firm enough to cut into bars.

Store bars in fridge.
