Method
 

Base Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Topping Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir gently for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  2. Pour the berry mixture evenly over the cooled oat base and spread it gently.
Final Steps
