Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as it may result in dense bars.
If using dried cranberries or nuts, fold them gently into the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 8 equal bars and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
