Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and unsweetened coconut flakes.
Add the cinnamon and salt to the dry mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly until the oat and nut mixture is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing it to crisp up as it cools.
Once cool, transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
