Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped nuts, and seeds. Stir well to make sure they are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the oats and nuts are well coated. Add the cinnamon and salt, mixing thoroughly.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down slightly with a spatula to form a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet. It will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, you can break it into clusters and stir in the dried fruit.
Store the granola clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
