Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, and pecans.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Stir until everything is well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, mix in the vegan dark chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
