Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Add oats, dates, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a food processor. Process until mixture is finely grounded and starts leaving the sides of the food processor bowl.
Transfer the mixture into a large bowl and add dry fruits and almonds; mix well to combine.
Press granola bar into a greased casserole pan, (I used a 9x5 pan). Use a sharp knife, and score into the size of the bars.
Baked granola bars for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the baked granola bars from the oven. Allow the casserole pan to cool enough to handle.
Remove the bars and allow them to cool completely.
