Preheat oven to 160 degrees and lay a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray.
Combine all the dry ingredients and dates (except the sunflower seeds) in a large mixing bowl. If you are using other dried fruits these can be added with the sunflower seeds after the first bake two avoid them burning.
Warm the coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over a low heat then pour over the dry ingredients and mix well.
Spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer on your baking tray & bake for 20 minutes in the centre of the oven.
Remove from oven, add the sunflower seeds (and dried fruit if applicable), and stir.
Increase heat to 170C and return to oven for another 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on the oven as the granola browns quickly and can start to burn.
Once the granola is visibly browned remove it from the oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 weeks. It can also be frozen (up to 3 months….but i doubt it will last that long!).
