Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
In the same skillet, toast the almonds and pumpkin seeds for about 3-4 minutes until they are lightly toasted. Add them to the bowl with the sesame seeds.
Add the flaxseeds to the bowl and mix all seeds and nuts together.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add honey, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until everything is well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the seeds and nuts, mixing thoroughly until everything is coated.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down firmly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan for at least an hour. This will help it set properly and make it easier to cut.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
