  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
  5. Stir in the cooked lentils, almonds, craisins, and chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
