Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, combine the almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Pulse until the nuts are coarsely chopped.
Transfer the chopped nuts into a large mixing bowl. Add the dried cranberries, flaxseed meal, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. Stir to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and almond butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and well-blended.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, liquid stevia, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are coated and the mixture is sticky.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to press down the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set properly.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
