1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, millet, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, cooled cooked quinoa, salt and cinnamon.

3. In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup, brown sugar and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.

4. Pour the maple mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is evenly coated.

5. Spread the mixture in a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet and press it down lightly with a spatula.

6. Bake for 20 minutes, then stir and spread it out again, pressing it flat with the spatula.

7. Bake for another 20 minutes, until golden and dry to the touch, watching closely so the edges do not burn.

8. Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet, about 30 minutes, so it becomes crisp.

9. Break the cooled granola into clusters, stir in the craisins or dried cranberries, and store in an airtight container.
