Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
