Gelatin 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 bring serious texture and staying power, while tart dried cranberries and rich dark chocolate chips keep things interesting from the first bite to the last. A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon tie everything together with a warm, lightly caramelized coating that makes this feel more like a treat than a sensible snack. Avoiding gelatin can be trickier than it sounds, especially with store-bought trail mixes and snack blends that sometimes sneak it in through coated candies or certain dried fruit preparations. This recipe sidesteps all of that by keeping every ingredient straightforward and whole — just nuts, seeds, fruit, chocolate, and a few pantry staples. The dried cranberries call specifically for no apple juice or high-fructose corn syrup, so you're in full control of what goes into the bag. No cooking required, no specialty equipment, and it stores at room temperature for up to two weeks, making it an easy grab-and-go option to prep once and enjoy all week long.
