Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled wheat flakes, walnuts, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Stir in honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Remove from heat.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the final minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, mix in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
