1 Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
2 Mix chia seeds and water in a small bowl and let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, process 1 1/2 cups of the rolled oats in a food processor until it turns into flour. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the rest of the rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
4 Place the white beans and coconut oil into the bowl of the food processor and process until creamy. Add in the chia seeds (with water), maple syrup, orange zest, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Pulse until everything is combined and it is smooth mixture.
5 Pour the white bean mixture over the rolled oats mixture. Add in the apricots, pumpkin seeds, and chocolate. Stir to combine. At this point, you may have to use your hands.
