Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the rolled oats out on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are lightly golden and give off a nutty aroma.
While the oats are toasting, combine the honey and almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted oats, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, and shredded coconut. Pour the warm honey and almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift out the bars. Transfer the muesli mixture into the prepared pan and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour until the mixture is set firm.
Once the mixture is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
