Soak pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften.Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or lightly oil. Set aside.In the bowl of a food processor combine dates, coconut oil, salt, and vanilla until a smooth paste forms.In a large bowl combine oats, ground flax, maca powder, chia seeds, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and nuts.Stir well to combine.Add date mixture and work to coat the oat mixture. It will be sticky and a little bit to combine. I like to use my hands just coat with a little bit of coconut oil to keep the mixture from sticking to you.Add fruit and chocolate and stir to disburse.Press mixture into prepared baking dish in a even layer. Press hard to make sure bars hold together. I lay a piece of wax paper over the top and use a jar or can to apply even pressure.Refrigerate until firm, at least 20 minutes before cutting into bars.
