Carrageenan Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix

Crunchy, sweet, and deeply satisfying, this toasted trail mix is the kind of snack you'll find yourself reaching for all week long. Pecans and pumpkin seeds get tossed with pure maple syrup and coconut oil before hitting the oven, where they caramelize into golden, fragrant clusters that are genuinely hard to stop eating. Dried cranberries add a bright, chewy contrast, and if you stir in the optional chocolate chips, you've got something that feels more like a treat than a responsible snack choice. For anyone navigating carrageenan concerns, packaged snack mixes and flavored nuts can be a minefield — many commercial options contain additives hiding in coatings, chocolate, or dried fruit. This recipe sidesteps all of that by keeping every ingredient straightforward and whole. The maple syrup and coconut oil do all the binding and flavoring work, so there's no need for emulsifiers or stabilizers of any kind. Just make sure your chocolate chips are a brand you trust, and you're good to go. Bake a batch, let it cool until the clusters firm up, and store it in an airtight container for easy, worry-free snacking all week.
