Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, raw pecans, raw pumpkin seeds, raw sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Toss them together until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and almond butter together. Stir until smooth.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the raw honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the nut and seed mixture in the bowl. Using a spatula, stir well to ensure that all the nuts and seeds are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down into a single layer about 1/2-inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are slightly golden and the mixture is fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the clusters to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them firm up.
Once cooled, break the mixture into clusters of your desired size using your hands or a knife.
Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
