Preheat your oven to 170 C.
Line an 8" square pan with parchment paper or baking paper or aluminium foil.Grease the foil.
Mix all the dry ingredients - oats, puffed rice, almonds, cranberries, dates and all the seeds in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine coconut oil and peanut butter, over low heat until the peanut butter melts.
Take it off the heat and whisk in the honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder.
Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Spoon this mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing it down firmly. This helps the pack the bars and hold their shape.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the the top is golden and slightly firm to touch.
Let the granola cool in the pan. Then refrigerate for 2-3 hours to chill them. This helps cutting them easier, especially in the hot weather.
Once cold, cut into 16 squares. Enjoy!
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
