Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The granola is ready when it is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries or raisins.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk, or as a snack on its own!
