Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the bars out later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, dried apricots, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the honey and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the warm honey-peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are coated and stick together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spatula or your hands (you may want to lightly grease your hands with oil to prevent sticking).
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the top and gently press them into the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely.
Once the mixture is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
