Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the almonds, pecans, and walnuts a few times until they are broken into small pieces. Be careful not to over-process; you want some larger pieces for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pulsed nuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Stir well to mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the nut and seed mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well-coated with the syrup mixture.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
