Preheat the oven to 350º F.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Mix.
3 Tbsp (43g) butter, 1/3 cup (71g) brown sugar, zest from 1 & 1/2 oranges, juice of 1 orange, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp sea salt
Add in the oats and stir to coat the oats.
2 cups (178g) whole/steel oats
Add in the chopped pecans, and mix again.
1 cup (114g) pecans
Spread the granola on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the granola is spread out as much as possible. I find that a cookie sheet with edges is best to keep the granola on the pan.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Allow the granola to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Pour the granola in a large air tight container, add the dried cranberries, shake the container with the lid on to mix.
1 cup (114g) dried cranberries
