Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, dried mixed berries, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey or maple syrup and peanut butter (or almond butter). Stir until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix until the ingredients are evenly coated and sticky.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the pan to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab out of the dish.
Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 even bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
