Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread oats, walnuts, and pepitas on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast 8–10 minutes, stirring once, until fragrant and lightly golden. Cool slightly. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
2
Combine honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and heat until the mixture bubbles gently and is fully combined, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
3
Pour the warm honey mixture over the toasted oat mixture. Add dried cranberries and stir until everything is thoroughly coated and sticky. Let cool 5 minutes, then fold in chocolate chips. Press the mixture very firmly into the lined pan — use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact it as densely as possible. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until completely set and solid before cutting into 12 bars. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
