Preheat oven to 350F; line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.
Stir together the oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl.
Add in the all-purpose flour, almond meal, baking soda, and salt and stir to combine. (The dough will be wet.)
Stir in the granola, coconut flakes, golden raisins, cashews, and chia seeds. (The dough will be quite thick.)
Use a 1½ tablespoon-sized scoop to measure out the dough and roll it into balls; arrange the balls of dough on the prepared sheets, leaving about 1½ to 2 inches between each ball.
Bake the cookies 1 sheet at a time until the cookies are golden on the bottom, set around the outside, and still look just a touch doughy in the center, about 8 minutes, rotating the tray once.
Cool the cookies for a couple minutes on the tray, and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Store in an airtight container.
