Chestnut Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet, toasty, and just a little salty, with clusters of golden oats, crunchy walnuts, and hearty pumpkin seeds holding everything together. Pure maple syrup and melted coconut oil do the heavy lifting here, coating every piece before it goes into the oven so you get that irresistible caramelized crunch without any fuss. Baking low and slow at 325°F lets the oats turn golden rather than bitter, and the trick of leaving the pan completely undisturbed while it cools is what gives you those satisfying, snappable clusters. Once it's cooled, dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips get folded in for a pop of tartness and a little indulgence. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns around chestnuts specifically, this mix is built entirely around walnuts and seeds — no chestnuts or chestnut-derived ingredients anywhere in the recipe. It's a genuinely wholesome, crowd-pleasing snack that works just as well packed into a hiking bag as it does spooned over yogurt or eaten straight off the baking sheet.
