Honey Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

So many store-bought trail mixes and granola blends sneak honey in as a binder or sweetener, making them a frustrating find for anyone avoiding it. This recipe leans on maple syrup and melted coconut oil instead, delivering that same sticky, caramelized coating without a drop of the stuff. Pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds toast up beautifully together, and the cinnamon and ginger give every handful a warm, spiced depth that feels way more intentional than your average snack mix. The oats help everything clump just enough to create satisfying little clusters that hold together once the mix cools on the pan. Baking low and slow at 325°F keeps the nuts from burning while the maple syrup does its magic, though you'll want to keep a close eye toward the end — it can go from golden to overdone fast. Tossing in unsweetened dried cranberries after cooling adds a chewy, tart contrast that balances all that toasty richness perfectly. Store it in an airtight container and you've got a snack that's genuinely hard to stop eating.
