Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and coconut oil. Stir until the coconut oil has melted and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the honey and coconut oil mixture over the oat mixture, stirring well to ensure all dry ingredients are coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, stir in the dried cranberries.
Serve 1/2 cup of the granola over 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt per serving.
Top with fresh fruit of your choice for added sweetness and nutrition.
Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
