Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with enough overhang on the sides to easily remove the bars from the pan. Set aside.
-
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix the honey, vanilla, almond meal, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and almond butter together until combined.
-
Fold in the almonds, dried cranberries, and pepitas until combined.
-
Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan and press very firmly into an even layer. Pack it as tight as possible.
-
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 1 more hour. This helps firm up the bars which make them stay compact.
-
Remove bars from the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into bars. Individually wrap each bar in plastic wrap or parchment.
-
Store at room temperature for 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
