Healthy Granola

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, salt, and ground cinnamon. Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 21 to 24 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is lightly golden. Do not overbake as it will continue to crisp as it cools.

Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet without disturbing it for at least 45 minutes. This allows it to form clusters. Once cool, break into pieces and stir in the dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
