Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the maple syrup and coconut oil until the coconut oil is fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir the granola to ensure it bakes evenly, then bake for another 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely without stirring, to encourage clumping.
Once cooled, add the dried cranberries and gently mix. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
