Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the almonds, pecans, and walnuts and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds to the bowl.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sugar-free sweetener until fully dissolved.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the nuts and seeds are thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly to compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once golden and fragrant, remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchy as it cools.
Once fully cooled, break into clusters and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a topping for yogurt, a cereal substitute, or just as a snack.
