Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is ready for baking the granola evenly.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, hazelnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil, honey, and sprinkle the sea salt. Use your hands to crumble and mix everything thoroughly so the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Bake Granola: Spread the oat mixture evenly across a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the oats turn a golden brown, stirring occasionally and checking frequently to prevent burning.
Cool and Add Mix-ins: Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cool, gently stir in the goji berries, dried cranberries, and coconut flakes to preserve the chunkiness of the granola clusters.
Storage: Transfer the granola to a sealed container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.

Notes

Watch granola closely during baking to avoid burning, stirring halfway through can help with even browning.
You can substitute or add other nuts and seeds of your choice based on your preferences.
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Use airtight containers to store granola to retain its crunchiness longer.
Freeze in small portions for convenient snack packs.
