Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix well.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir thoroughly until every piece of oat and nut is well coated with the wet mixture.
Spread the granola mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and stir the granola. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cool, stir in the unsweetened dried blueberries.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
