Fructose Free Pineapple Lime Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple until you realize most store-bought bags are loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, honey, or sweetened fruit that can quietly derail a low-fructose approach. This version keeps things in check by leaning on maple syrup as the binder — used in a modest amount — along with coconut oil, fresh lime juice, and zest to deliver serious flavor without overdoing the sweet stuff. The unsweetened dried pineapple adds that tropical chew you want in a good trail mix, and the lime zest brightens everything in a way that feels almost fancy for a snack you can eat by the handful. Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds bring satisfying crunch and staying power, while a pinch of cayenne (totally optional) gives the whole batch a subtle kick that keeps you reaching back in. The oven does the heavy lifting in under ten minutes, and the maple coating crisps up beautifully as the mix cools on the pan. It's the kind of snack that works just as well tucked into a bag for a hike as it does sitting in a bowl on the counter — gone faster than you'd expect either way.
