What is the easiest cross platform widget toolkit? I'm looking for one that minimally covers Windows, OSX, and Linux with a C or C++ interface.

Flutter: The First Choice for Cross-Platform GUI Development.
Tkinter is a pure GUI library, not a framework. There is no built-in support for GUIs driven from data sources, databases, or for displaying or manipulating multimedia or hardware. However, if you need to make something simple that doesn't require any additional dependencies, Tkinter may be what you are looking for.
If you are comparing wxWidgets with Qt, wxWidgets literally stands no where. Qt is a complete framework where you can write code and generate GUI for Linux, Windows, MAC, Android, IOS and even blackberry, and other embedded systems.
Xamarin is a cross-platform mobile app development toolkit that includes UI components with XAML support that can be shared across various mobile platforms. It is used for creating mobile apps on iOS, Android, and Windows Phones.
I don't know of any I've personally used with a C API, but wxWidgets is C++. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. And if you're looking for easy, wxPython is a Python wrapper around wxWidgets and it is pretty easy to use.

I really like Qt. Have been working with it in several projects now.
Although the project, I am currently working on, will be released for windows only, some of our developers code under Mac OS X using the gcc. And using different compilers and environments is an extra benefit for locating errors & bugs.
I forgot to mention that Qt has a really good documentation including lots of practical examples that help for a quick start.
