Add 2 cups of old fashioned oatmeal to a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed, 1 cup of chopped almonds, and 3/4 cup of sunflower seeds to the bowl.

Mix all the dry ingredients together.

Spread the mixture evenly over a cookie sheet or a silicon liner.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.

In a small pot, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Stir the ingredients in the pot until everything is completely melted, keeping it on heat for about 5 minutes while stirring constantly.

Once the oatmeal mixture is toasted, place it back in the bowl.

Add the melted brown sugar and butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Grease a large baking pan with nonstick spray.

Transfer the granola mixture to the baking pan and press it down with a spatula.

Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to press down firmly, ensuring the mixture is compact but not too hard.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for about an hour to set.

Cut the chilled granola into squares and wrap them individually.
