In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, shredded coconut, mini dairy-free chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the almond butter and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is warmed and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
Using a wooden spatula, mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will make the mixture easier to handle.
Once chilled, using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form small 1-inch balls of the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the granola bites back in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.
Store the granola bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
