Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the dry ingredients are coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir the granola to ensure even cooking. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely without stirring to allow clusters to form.
Once cooled, add the dried cranberries to the granola and toss to combine.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
