Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl, add 2 cups of whole organic almonds.

Add 2 cups of raw organic sunflower seeds to the bowl.

Add 2 cups of raw pepitas to the bowl.

Add 3 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of pecans to the bowl and break them up slightly with your hands.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 8 tablespoons of organic coconut oil.

Add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon to the melted coconut oil.

Add 2 tablespoons of ground nutmeg to the saucepan.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cloves to the mixture and stir until combined.

Add 1 cup of organic pure maple syrup to the saucepan and warm it up, stirring until combined without letting it boil.

Once combined, pour the maple syrup mixture over the nuts, seeds, and coconut in the bowl.

Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well coated.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning.

After 30 minutes, add 1 cup of organic raisins to the granola and toss it all together.

Return the granola to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let it all come together.

Remove from the oven and let the granola cool in the pan for a few hours before transferring it to an airtight container.
