Barley Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet, toasty, and packed with satisfying crunch from walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Pure maple syrup and coconut oil coat the gluten-free oats and nuts before everything goes into the oven, where they bake into golden, caramelized clusters that smell absolutely incredible. Letting the mix cool undisturbed on the pan is the secret to that irresistible crisp texture, so resist the urge to stir. Once it's cooled, dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips get folded in for a sweet-tart finish that makes every handful interesting. For anyone navigating a barley-free lifestyle, packaged trail mixes and granolas can be a minefield — barley malt extract sneaks into more snack foods than you'd expect. This recipe keeps things clean and straightforward, relying on whole, recognizable ingredients with no grain fillers or hidden additives to worry about. Bag it up for hikes, road trips, or afternoon snacking and you'll wonder why you ever bought the store-bought stuff.
