Nitrate & Nitrite Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix
Snack time just got a serious upgrade with this warm, toasty mix of pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and rolled oats all kissed with maple syrup, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger. Every ingredient here is naturally free from the cured meats, processed deli items, and packaged snack foods where nitrates and nitrites tend to hide — so you can munch without a second thought. The coconut oil and maple syrup work together as a light, golden glaze that crisps up beautifully as the mix cools on the pan, giving you those satisfying clusters without any questionable additives. A low oven temperature and one midway stir are really all the technique you need to pull this off. Tossing in unsweetened dried cranberries at the end adds a chewy, tart contrast that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. Store it in an airtight container and you've got a wholesome, grab-and-go snack ready for the week ahead.
