Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and coconut flakes. Stir to mix evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Stir occasionally until just warm and well mixed. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Pour the syrup mixture over the oat mixture. Add the cinnamon and salt. Stir everything together until well coated and distributed.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to press and flatten the mixture slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking. Watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.
Once golden and fragrant, remove the granola from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet, where it will continue to crisp up.
After the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
