0 In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and chopped nuts
1 In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, nut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
2 Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
3 Transfer the mixture into a square or rectangular dish lined with parchment paper. Press it down firmly to create a compact and even layer.
4 Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the granola bars are firm.
5 Once chilled, lift the parchment paper to easily remove the solidified mixture from the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into bars.
6 Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
