Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and protein powder. Stir well to distribute the protein powder evenly.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey and coconut oil over low heat. Stir until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form a uniform layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through for even baking.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet; it will harden further as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters using your hands.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries.
Store the granola clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
