Portable, nutritious, and irresistibly tasty, these Outdoorsmen Bars are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and snack lovers alike.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make it easier to lift the bars out later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, and sunflower seeds. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and peanut butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the warm honey-peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly mix everything together until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of the spatula or your hands (lightly dampened to prevent sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the hardened mixture out of the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 12 equal bars using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, individually wrap the bars in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
