Rice Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet, toasty, and packed with enough crunch and chew to keep you reaching back into the bag. Gluten-free oats get tossed with walnut halves and raw pumpkin seeds, then coated in pure maple syrup and melted coconut oil before hitting a 325°F oven until everything turns golden and fragrant. A touch of cinnamon and salt ties it all together in that perfect sweet-savory balance. Many packaged trail mixes and granola blends sneak in rice crisps or puffed rice as filler, so making your own is the cleanest way to keep things grain-controlled without sacrificing texture or flavor. Once it cools on the pan, the clusters crisp up beautifully on their own — no stirring required during that resting time. Dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips get folded in at the end so they stay plump and don't bake down into something unrecognizable. It's an easy, one-bowl recipe that works as a hiking snack, a desk drawer staple, or even scattered over yogurt when you want something a little more special.
