High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix

Store-bought trail mix and granola blends are notorious for sneaking in corn syrup or high-fructose sweeteners, often buried in the fine print of the ingredient list. This recipe sidesteps all of that by using pure maple syrup as the only sweetener — just check your label to confirm it's 100% maple with nothing added, and you're good to go. The result is a deeply satisfying mix of toasty pecans, golden oats, and crunchy pumpkin seeds with warm cinnamon running through every bite. Coconut oil helps the maple coating cling and caramelize in the oven, creating those irresistible little clusters that make homemade trail mix so much better than anything from a bag. Dried cranberries add a chewy, tart contrast, and if you fold in the optional dairy-free chocolate chips once everything has cooled, you get little pockets of richness that feel genuinely indulgent. It's the kind of snack that works just as well packed into a hiking bag as it does scattered over yogurt or eaten straight off the counter.
