Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 13x9-inch pan with lightly greased parchment paper, leaving about an inch of overhang on two sides to create lifting handles.

Combine the quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats, pumpkin seeds, almonds, mixed nuts, cranberries, and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl; spread the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it evenly into the corners and out to the sides.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, using slightly less time for chewier bars and slightly more time for crunchier bars.

Let the bars cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out. Cut into bars with a sharp knife. Allow the bars to cool completely and store in an airtight container.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
