Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven once the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet (it will crisp up as it cools).
Once cooled, stir in the dried blueberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, with milk, or straight from the jar as a snack!
