Honey Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — toasty oats, crunchy walnuts, and pepitas all baked together with pure maple syrup and coconut oil until golden and irresistible. Many store-bought granola and trail mix blends sneak in honey as a binder or sweetener, which makes label-reading exhausting, but this recipe keeps things simple by leaning entirely on maple syrup for that warm, caramel-like sweetness. The trick to getting that satisfying crunch is letting the mix cool undisturbed on the pan — the maple syrup sets as it cools and creates those perfect little clusters. A hit of cinnamon and a pinch of salt round out the flavor so it never tastes one-note or overly sweet. Stirring in dried cranberries after baking adds a chewy, tart contrast that makes every handful more interesting, and the optional dairy-free chocolate chips take it somewhere dangerously snackable. It's equally at home packed into a bag for hiking, scattered over yogurt, or eaten straight off the baking sheet before it even makes it to a container.
