Chestnut Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

Warm cinnamon, toasty pecans, and a hint of ginger make this baked trail mix the kind of snack you'll find yourself reaching for all week long. The combination of pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds gets tossed with maple syrup and coconut oil before hitting the oven, creating clusters that are lightly sweet, satisfyingly crunchy, and deeply fragrant. Gluten-free rolled oats round out the mix and soak up all that spiced coating beautifully as everything toasts together. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns around chestnuts specifically, this mix leans entirely on pecans and seeds — no chestnuts anywhere in the ingredient list — so you can snack with confidence. The maple syrup caramelizes quickly toward the end of baking, so keeping a close eye in those final few minutes is the real trick to nailing the perfect golden finish. Once it cools on the pan, the whole thing crisps up into irresistible clusters that store well in an airtight container for easy grab-and-go snacking. Toss in the optional dried cranberries at the end for a pop of tart sweetness that ties everything together.
