1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3
Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
4
Add Flavor and Texture
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5
Prepare the Pan
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
6
Press Mixture into Dish
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to firmly press the mixture into an even layer.

Chill and Set
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Once set, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into bars or squares.
