Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, mixed nuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Stir until well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press down the mixture evenly and firmly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the baking pan before cutting into bars.
Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan. Cut into 12 even bars using a sharp knife.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
