Walnut Free Gluten Free Maple Pecan Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you realize most store-bought bags are packed in facilities that process walnuts and other tree nuts, making label-reading a part-time job. This homemade version keeps things clean by centering on pecans, pumpkin seeds, and gluten-free oats — no walnuts anywhere in sight. The magic here is the maple-coconut oil glaze that gets toasted in the oven, turning each cluster into something genuinely craveable rather than just a handful of dry seeds. A hit of cinnamon and sea salt balances the sweetness, and the dried cranberries stirred in at the end add a chewy, tart contrast that keeps every bite interesting. Optional dairy-free chocolate chips make it feel a little indulgent, which is never a bad thing. Let it cool fully on the rack and you'll be rewarded with satisfying clusters that hold together beautifully in a bag or jar. It's the kind of snack you'll want to keep stocked at all times.
