Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and ground flaxseed. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until completely blended.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are fully coated with the maple syrup mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and stir the granola to ensure even baking.
Return the granola to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing the granola to form clumps.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy with yogurt, milk, or as a standalone snack.
