This toasty, crunchy Best Trail Mix with Pears features a few amazing ingredients: fresh pears, oats, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon. Have you ever wondered if trail mix is healthy? It certainly can be! And this home-baked trail mix recipe is proof! Packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, this delicious homemade trail mix is light in sugar and fats, and heavy on flavor and nutrition. It’s also gluten-free and vegan, making it a great option for your everyone.
Bake this healthy trail mix up as a healthy snack for the whole family; kids will love it in their lunchboxes and grownups will savor it in briefcases and gym bags. Tote it along for hiking and camping, too. This is also delicious sprinkled over cereal, plant-based yogurt, sorbet, or fruit. Use it as a replacement for granola or muesli in recipes, such as this Creamy Peach Yogurt Parfait.
You can easily swap out ingredients for others to meet your flavor preferences or pantry supply. For example, try walnuts instead of almonds, pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds, and peanut butter instead of almond butter. With only 10 ingredients, you can whip this best trail mix up in no time, and then let it bake slowly in the oven. Because this recipe uses fresh pears, I recommend storing it in the fridge or freezer. I used my mother’s antique blue canning jars (pictured here) to store my baked trail mix. Watch out, it will disappear as quickly as you make it!
