Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the seed mixture. Stir until all the seeds are well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped dried apricots.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
