Ingredients
- Graham crackers, broken into bite-sized pieces
- Mini pretzels (twists or sticks)
- Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- Yogurt chips or mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
- Sunflower seeds
- Oats, quick or old-fashioned (optional)
- Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the graham crackers into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a rolling pin inside a large zip-top bag, aiming for uneven chunks.
- If using sunflower seeds or oats, toast them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, pretzels, dried fruit, yogurt or chocolate chips, toasted seeds, oats, and shredded coconut if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Scoop the trail mix into individual snack bags or reusable pouches, about ¾ cup (90g) per pouch. Seal tightly.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Toss before serving to redistribute ingredients.
Notes
Avoid crushing graham crackers too finely to maintain crunch. Toast seeds and oats carefully to prevent burning. Soak dried fruit briefly in warm water if too tough. Store chips separately for extra crunch if desired.
