In a very large bowl, mix the oats, almond pieces, sunflower seeds and cinnamon together. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well. Spread the mixture over two 9 x 12 pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown - stirring two times during cooking so the granola browns evenly. Allow granola to cool to room temperature before enjoying.
