Assemble all the dry ingredients in a bowl: gluten free old-fashioned rolled oats, flaked coconut, slivered almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin pie spice.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in the bowl.

Add the liquid ingredients: raw honey, pure maple syrup, melted organic coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Drizzle the liquid ingredients around the dry ingredients while stirring to combine.

Spread the granola mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet in a nice thin layer.

Evenly spread the granola across the entire surface of the baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for about an hour and 15 minutes on low heat, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure it browns evenly.
