Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a food processor, pulse the almonds, pecans, and walnuts until you achieve a rough, chunky consistency. Avoid over-processing into a fine powder.
In a large bowl, combine the processed nuts, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil, stirring until fully incorporated.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Add sea salt and stir well, ensuring all the dry ingredients are evenly coated in the wet mixture.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting. The granola should be golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely, allowing it to crisp up.
Once cooled, store the granola in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
