Macadamia Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels and realize how many store-bought blends sneak in nuts you're trying to avoid. This homemade version keeps things clean and intentional — walnuts and pumpkin seeds bring the crunch and healthy fats, while pure maple syrup and coconut oil create a light, caramelized coating that makes every cluster taste like a treat. A touch of cinnamon and a pinch of salt pull the whole thing together in a way that feels way more sophisticated than anything from a resealable bag. The oven does the heavy lifting at a low 325°F, and that slow toast is what gives the oats their deep, nutty aroma and satisfying crisp. Once it cools on the pan undisturbed, the clusters firm up beautifully — no stirring means better texture. Dried cranberries add a chewy, tart contrast, and if you're feeling indulgent, dairy-free chocolate chips make this just as much a snack-worthy treat as it is a trail staple. It's the kind of batch you'll want to keep in a jar on the counter because it disappears faster than expected.
