Pistachio Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you realize how many store-bought bags are packed in facilities that also process tree nuts you're trying to avoid. This homemade version keeps things clean and intentional, built around gluten-free oats, crunchy walnut halves, and raw pumpkin seeds for a satisfying mix of textures and plant-based protein. Pure maple syrup and melted coconut oil coat everything before it hits the oven, creating that irresistible golden, slightly sticky crunch that makes homemade granola-style mixes so much better than anything from a bag. A low-and-slow bake at 325°F lets the oats toast evenly without burning, and the trick of letting the pan cool undisturbed is what gives you those satisfying clusters. Once it's cooled, dried cranberries add a chewy, tart pop, and dairy-free chocolate chips can go in if you want a little indulgence in every handful. It's the kind of snack that works just as well stirred into yogurt or packed into a zip bag for a hike as it does eaten straight off the baking sheet.
