Xanthan Gum Free Cinnamon Pecan Trail Mix

Warm cinnamon, toasty pecans, and a hint of ginger make this trail mix smell absolutely incredible while it's baking — and it tastes just as good as it smells. Many packaged snack mixes rely on additives and stabilizers you'd rather avoid, but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Maple syrup and melted coconut oil do all the work of binding and caramelizing, so there's no need for any gums or thickeners whatsoever. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is letting the mix cool undisturbed on the pan — resist the urge to stir, and it will crisp up beautifully on its own. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds add a nice nutritional boost alongside the pecans, and the optional dried cranberries bring a little pop of tartness that balances the warm spices perfectly. It stores well in an airtight container, making it an easy grab-and-go snack you can feel genuinely good about.
