Citrus Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix

Crunchy, chewy, sweet, and just a little salty — this trail mix hits every snack craving in a single handful. Walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds form a hearty base that gets tossed in maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for a coating that makes every bite feel intentional rather than thrown together. Dried cranberries add a pop of tartness, and dark chocolate chips bring a rich, slightly bitter finish that keeps the whole thing from tipping into candy territory. The tricky part with store-bought trail mixes is that dried cranberries are often sweetened with apple juice or other citrus-adjacent additives, and flavored nuts can hide all kinds of unexpected ingredients. This recipe calls specifically for cranberries sweetened with sugar or pineapple juice, so you stay in the clear without sacrificing any of that classic tangy flavor. Everything else in the mix is naturally free of citrus, so there's no need to scrutinize labels beyond that one swap. It comes together in one bowl with no baking required, and it keeps at room temperature for up to two weeks — making it an easy grab-and-go option to prep once and snack on all week long.
