Walnut Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you realize most store-bought bags are packed in facilities that process walnuts, making label-reading a frustrating chore. This homemade version sidesteps that entirely, built around buttery pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds toasted together with maple syrup, coconut oil, warm cinnamon, and a hint of ginger. The result is deeply fragrant, lightly sweet, and satisfying in a way that a dusty gas-station bag never could be. Baking everything low and slow at 325°F lets the maple syrup caramelize without burning, and that crucial resting time on the pan is what gives you those irresistible crunchy clusters. A handful of dried cranberries stirred in at the end adds a chewy, tart contrast that makes the whole thing feel almost indulgent. It stores beautifully in an airtight container, so you can batch it on a Sunday and snack confidently all week long.
