BHA & BHT Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading ingredient labels — preservatives like BHA and BHT hide in surprisingly common snack foods, from flavored nuts to store-bought granola clusters. This homemade version keeps things clean by building flavor from pure maple syrup, coconut oil, and a touch of cinnamon instead of relying on anything artificial. The result is a golden, toasty mix of oats, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds that smells absolutely incredible coming out of the oven. Letting it cool undisturbed on the pan is the secret to getting those satisfying crispy clusters rather than a loose, crumbly pile. Once it's cooled, dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips get folded in for a sweet, chewy contrast that makes every handful genuinely exciting. It's the kind of snack you'll want to keep in a jar on the counter — assuming it lasts that long.
