Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, raw almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut, and raw pumpkin seeds.
In a small saucepan, warm the honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and well combined, then remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt into the honey-coconut oil mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and store the granola in an airtight container.
