Hazelnut Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels and realize how many store-bought blends sneak in mixed nut varieties that include hazelnuts — or are processed on shared lines where cross-contact is a real concern. This homemade version puts you fully in control, built around walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds for a satisfying crunch in every handful. A drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt bring everything together with a lightly sweet, warmly spiced coating that makes this taste far more intentional than your average grab-and-go snack. Tart dried cranberries and rich dark chocolate chips round out the mix with pops of flavor that keep you coming back for another scoop. It comes together in one bowl with no baking required, and it stores at room temperature for up to two weeks — making it an easy prep-ahead option for lunchboxes, road trips, or afternoon snack attacks. Knowing exactly what went into the bag makes every bite that much better.
