In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together warm water, egg, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the cinnamon over it, evenly distribute the raisins and chopped nuts on top.
Fold the dough to encase the raisins and nuts, knead gently to incorporate them evenly into the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch the dough down to release the air, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for another 25-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
