Legume Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

So many trail mixes are loaded with peanuts, chickpea crisps, or soy-based fillers that make them a no-go if you're avoiding legumes — this one sidesteps all of that with a lineup built entirely around nuts, seeds, oats, and warm spice. Pecan halves are the star, toasted low and slow until golden and deeply fragrant, while pumpkin and sunflower seeds add a satisfying crunch in every handful. Maple syrup and coconut oil act as the glue, pulling the cinnamon and ginger into a light, caramelized coating that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The trick to getting that perfect crisp is letting the mix cool undisturbed on the pan — resist the urge to stir, and it firms up beautifully on its own. A handful of dried cranberries stirred in at the end brings a pop of tartness that balances the warm, toasty sweetness without overwhelming it. It stores well in an airtight container, making it an easy grab-and-go snack to batch ahead for the week.
