Soy Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels — soy lecithin hides in chocolate chips, flavored nuts, and even some dried fruits, making store-bought blends a minefield. This homemade version keeps things clean from the start, built around gluten-free oats, walnut halves, and raw pumpkin seeds for a satisfying mix of chew and crunch. Pure maple syrup and melted coconut oil do the heavy lifting as the binder and sweetener, coating every piece before a low-and-slow bake at 325°F coaxes out that deep, toasty flavor. The trick of letting it cool undisturbed on the pan is what gives you those irresistible clusters — patience pays off here. Dried cranberries fold in at the end for a pop of tartness, and if you opt for the dairy-free chocolate chips, just check that your brand is also soy-free, since that's the one spot where labels are worth a quick scan. The result is a snack that's genuinely craveable — sweet, salty, warmly spiced, and completely made on your terms.
