Gelatin Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — toasty oats, crunchy walnuts, and pepitas all bound together with pure maple syrup and a whisper of cinnamon. Many packaged granolas and trail mixes sneak in gelatin-based coatings or additives to achieve that satisfying cluster texture, but this one gets its crunch entirely from the oven and a slow cool on the pan. The coconut oil and maple syrup do all the work, caramelizing around the oats and seeds as they bake until golden and fragrant. Letting the mix sit undisturbed after baking is the secret to those crispy, snackable clusters — no animal-derived binders needed. Once cooled, the dried cranberries add a chewy, tart contrast, and a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips takes the whole thing somewhere dangerously close to dessert. It's equally at home stuffed into a hiking bag, sprinkled over yogurt, or eaten straight from the jar by the handful.
