Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and chia seeds. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and almond butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir vanilla extract and sea salt into the almond butter mixture.
Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well-coated and thoroughly mixed.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to cut.
Once firm, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
