Turmeric Free Maple Oat Trail Mix

This trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast — sweet, toasty, and packed with satisfying crunch from walnuts and pumpkin seeds. The maple syrup and coconut oil coat every oat and seed before a low-and-slow bake turns the whole thing golden and fragrant with warm cinnamon. Many store-bought granolas and trail mixes sneak in spice blends that can be a real headache to vet, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify on its own. Spreading the mixture in a single layer and stirring halfway through is the key to even browning — and pulling it from the oven before the edges get too dark keeps the maple flavor sweet rather than bitter. The hands-off cooling time is worth the wait, because that's exactly when the clusters firm up into satisfying, snackable pieces. Tossing in dried cranberries and optional dairy-free chocolate chips at the end keeps them from drying out in the oven and adds a chewy, slightly tart contrast to all that toasty richness. Make a batch on Sunday and you'll have a reliable, feel-good snack ready to grab all week long.
