Nutmeg Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix

Crunchy, sweet, and deeply satisfying, this trail mix hits every note you want from a snack — toasty pecans, chewy cranberries, golden oats, and a maple-coconut glaze that makes the whole thing smell incredible coming out of the oven. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward, built around whole foods like raw pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, and pure maple syrup with nothing unnecessary tucked in. Warm spice comes entirely from cinnamon, so you get that cozy, bakery-style aroma without any of the sharper notes that nutmeg can bring — making this a genuinely safe and delicious option for anyone who needs to avoid it. The maple and coconut oil melt together into a light coating that caramelizes beautifully at 325°F, binding the oats and nuts into satisfying little clusters as they cool. Stirring halfway through baking keeps everything evenly toasted, and the patience to let it cool completely on the rack is what gives you that perfect dry, snackable crunch. Toss in the dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips at the end and you've got a mix that works just as well in a lunchbox as it does on a hiking trail. Make a big batch, portion it into bags, and you'll be reaching for it all week.
