Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are coated.
Add the whey protein powder to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down lightly to form a compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking, until the granola is golden brown and toasted.
Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crunchier as it cools.
Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and transfer it to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy the granola with yogurt, milk, or as a standalone snack.
