Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the bars out later.
In a food processor, coarsely chop the raw almonds. They should be in small pieces, but not turned into almond flour.
Add the rolled oats to the food processor and pulse a few times to combine with the chopped almonds.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together.
Once melted and well combined, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the almond and oat mixture and pulse a few times to combine.
Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl, and fold in the dried cranberries.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use the back of a spoon or hands to press it evenly and firmly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 even pieces.
Store the almond bars in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
