Directions
Heat the oven to 300°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Place the barley, wheat, pecans, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine; set aside.
Place the maple syrup, oil, and vanilla in a small bowl and stir to combine. Drizzle over the barley-wheat mixture and mix until thoroughly coated and there are no clumps.
Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the granola is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer to a large heatproof bowl, add the cranberries, and stir to combine. Let cool completely. (The granola will crisp up as it cools.) Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
