Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are coated evenly.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries, if using, and store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature.
Enjoy the granola as a topping for yogurt, milk, or simply as a snack on its own.
