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 walnuts, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to coat all the oats and nuts evenly.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Bake until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, mix in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or as a snack on its own!
