Prepare an 8x8 inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and salt. Mix well to distribute evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted almond butter mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Make sure to pack it down well to ensure the bars hold their shape.
Optionally, sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and press them lightly into the surface.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 8 equal bars with a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
