Emulsifier Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

Warm cinnamon, toasty pecans, and a hint of ginger make this trail mix the kind of snack you'll find yourself reaching into the bag for long after you meant to stop. Many packaged trail mixes and granola blends rely on hidden additives to bind ingredients together or extend shelf life, but this recipe keeps things completely clean — maple syrup and melted coconut oil do all the work naturally. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, so there's no need to squint at a label wondering what that last item on the list actually is. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is letting the mix cool undisturbed on the pan, which allows the maple syrup coating to set into a light, crispy glaze around each nut and seed. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds add a nice nutritional boost alongside the pecans, and the optional dried cranberries bring just enough tartness to balance the warmth of the spices. It comes together in one bowl with minimal cleanup, and a single batch fills an airtight container that'll keep you snacking all week.
