Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until ingredients are well incorporated.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter and honey until the mixture is smooth and easy to combine, stirring frequently.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is well coated and mixed together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. With a spatula, evenly spread and firmly press the mixture into the dish to ensure compact and even bars.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or an equivalent and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are set and firm.
Once set, remove the mixture from the dish using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
