Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until every component is lightly coated with the maple syrup mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down lightly with a spatula to create some clumps.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will become crispier.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
