Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Toss the oats, almonds, cranberries, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Make sure all of the oats are moistened.

Spread onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Allow granola to cool completely—the air will help the granola obtain a crunchy texture.
