Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, and unsweetened coconut flakes. Mix well to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the honey and stir until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm honey and coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl.
Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the bowl. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the honey-coconut oil mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the tray. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy it as a breakfast cereal, sprinkle over yogurt, or enjoy as a snack on its own.
