Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, raw almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, whisk in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the oat and almond mixture, and stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up further as it cools.
After cooling completely, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
