Begin by lining an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring to leave excess paper hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup and natural almond butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the almond butter and maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly into the pan, ensuring it's compact and even.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the muesli mixture has set and is firm.
Once set, lift the muesli slab out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 bars.
Store the muesli bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for extended freshness.
