In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, chopped almonds, and coconut flakes.
Place mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes to toast.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup (or honey), coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla, and set aside.
When the oat mixture is toasted, pour it back into the large mixing bowl.
Add in the flaxseed meal and salt and mix well.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over top and combine until all ingredients are well coated.
Pour the oat mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, using a spatula to turn the granola halfway through.
Let cool before placing in an airtight container.
