Ginger Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels — spice blends, flavored nuts, and even some dried fruits can sneak in unexpected botanicals that make a batch off-limits. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built around pantry staples you can actually verify. Gluten-free oats get tossed with walnut halves, pumpkin seeds, pure maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt before hitting a 325°F oven until golden and toasty. The maple syrup caramelizes beautifully as it bakes, binding everything into satisfying clusters that crisp up perfectly as the pan cools. Dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips get folded in at the end, so they stay plump and don't dry out in the oven. The result is a sweet, nutty, deeply snackable mix that works just as well over yogurt or oatmeal as it does grabbed by the handful on the go. Once you've made it yourself, it's hard to go back to store-bought.
