Brazil Nut Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels — many store-bought blends sneak in a rotating cast of mixed nuts, and brazil nuts have a way of showing up uninvited. This homemade version keeps things intentional, built around walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds for a satisfying crunch in every handful. A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon bring just enough warmth and sweetness to make this feel like more than just a snack. The dried cranberries add a bright, chewy contrast, while the dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher) give it that little hit of richness that keeps you coming back for more. Everything gets tossed together in one bowl — no baking, no special equipment, no stress. It stores at room temperature for up to two weeks, so you can batch it out and have a grab-and-go option ready all week long. Whether you're packing it for a hike, a road trip, or just keeping a stash at your desk, this mix delivers real flavor without any of the guesswork.
