In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, mix the sunflower seed butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up, making approximately 16 granola bites.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the granola bites chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once the granola bites are firm, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
