Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, quinoa, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Stir together until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the granola is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crisper as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries.
Store your high protein granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
