High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

Crunchy, warmly spiced, and genuinely satisfying, this toasted mix of pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds is the kind of snack you'll find yourself reaching for all week long. The binding magic here comes from maple syrup and melted coconut oil — two wholesome sweeteners that do the job beautifully without any of the processed corn-based syrups that sneak into so many store-bought trail mixes and granola blends. That matters more than you'd think, because packaged snack mixes are one of the sneakiest places high fructose corn syrup tends to hide. Baking everything low and slow at 325°F lets the oats toast up and the pecans turn golden and fragrant, while a hit of cinnamon and a whisper of ginger give the whole batch a cozy, almost autumnal warmth. The mix crisps up beautifully as it cools on the pan, forming those irresistible little clusters that make homemade always better than anything off a shelf. Toss in some unsweetened dried cranberries at the end for a pop of tartness that plays perfectly against the toasty, sweet base. Store it in an airtight container and you've got a clean, craveable snack ready to go whenever hunger strikes.
