Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, dried cranberries, and chopped dried apricots. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey and peanut butter together, stirring constantly until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well-coated and stick together.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
Once cool, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness.
