In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried cranberries, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is warm and slightly runny, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm almond butter and honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Using a spatula or your hands, thoroughly mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the moist mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a compact ball by pressing firmly. Place the formed bite on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, ensuring each bite is tightly packed, which will help them hold together.
Once all granola bites are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Once set, transfer the granola bites to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
