Artificial Flavors Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix
Crunchy, sweet, and deeply satisfying, this trail mix is the kind of snack you'll find yourself reaching for all day long. Pure maple syrup and coconut oil create a glossy, caramelized coating over toasted pecans, gluten free oats, and pumpkin seeds — no synthetic sweeteners or mystery flavorings anywhere in sight. That's the real win here: every single ingredient is straightforward and recognizable, so you know exactly what you're eating. Store-bought trail mixes and granola blends are notorious for sneaking in artificial flavors, colors, and "natural flavor" catch-alls that are anything but transparent, but this one keeps it completely clean. A sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt do all the heavy lifting in the flavor department, and the dried cranberries add a bright, tart pop once the mix has cooled. If you want a little indulgence, dairy-free chocolate chips fold in beautifully without compromising the integrity of the ingredient list. Make a big batch, portion it into bags, and you've got a genuinely wholesome snack ready to go whenever hunger strikes.
