Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the TVP, rolled oats, chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients. Add the ground cinnamon and salt. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even toasting, until the granola is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely. It will crisp up further as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chia seeds.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container for storage. It will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
