Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the baking period.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or raisins.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for about 2 weeks at room temperature or can be frozen for longer storage.
