Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir everything together, ensuring all of the dry ingredients are well coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the tray, stir the granola, and return to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Watch closely to prevent any burning.
Remove the granola from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will also enhance its crispiness.
Once cooled, add the dried cranberries to the granola mix, stirring well.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy your granola as a topping for yogurt, with almond milk, or as a standalone snack!
