Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Place the almonds and pecans in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped, or chop by hand.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts, shredded coconut, mixed seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and dried cranberries. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt together the almond butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the salt and the sweetener of your choice.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is uniformly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top and gently press them into the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
