Barley Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix
This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet, nutty, and just a little salty, with toasted pecans and golden oats held together by a glossy maple-coconut glaze. The dried cranberries add a bright, chewy contrast, and if you toss in the chocolate chips, you've got something that feels genuinely indulgent for a handful of trail mix. Every ingredient here is naturally free from barley and the grains that typically sneak into store-bought granola and snack mixes, so you can munch without second-guessing the label. The key is using certified gluten free oats, which keeps the whole batch clean from start to finish. Baking low and slow at 325°F lets the maple coating caramelize without burning, and that one stir halfway through makes sure everything toasts evenly. Once it cools on the rack, the clusters firm up beautifully — perfect for packing into bags for hikes, road trips, or just keeping on the counter for whenever hunger strikes.
