Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Use a spatula to stir everything together until the oats and seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing lightly to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the baking time.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the pan. The granola will crisp up as it cools.
Once the granola is fully cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins, if using.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
