Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the maple syrup and coconut oil, stirring until the coconut oil is completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
