Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon powder, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey (or maple syrup) and coconut oil until the coconut oil is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon or spatula until the dry mixture is thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the granola in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
