Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab an 8x8 inch baking pan. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Transfer the oat mixture into your prepared baking pan. Firmly press down the mixture to create an even bottom layer.
  4. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, chia seeds, and maple syrup over medium heat. Cook until the berries break down, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Spread the berry mixture over the baked layer evenly.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes, then lift out and cut into squares.
  8. Store the cut bars in an airtight container.
