Nitrate & Nitrite Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix
Snacking doesn't have to mean settling for processed bags full of mystery additives, and this toasted trail mix is proof. Pecans, pumpkin seeds, and gluten free oats get tossed in pure maple syrup and coconut oil, then baked low and slow until everything turns golden and fragrant — the kind of smell that makes it hard to wait for the cooling rack. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, you sidestep the cured meats, processed snacks, and packaged mixes that so often sneak in unwanted preservatives. The cinnamon and sea salt balance the natural sweetness of the maple beautifully, and the optional dairy free chocolate chips take it from wholesome to genuinely craveable. Dried cranberries fold in after baking to keep their chew and bright tartness intact, giving you a mix with real texture contrast in every handful. Portion it into bags for on-the-go snacking or keep a jar on the counter — either way, it disappears fast.
