A great holiday snack, and something excellent to have around for the company of the season. Homemade granola bars are so simple and inexpensive, and controlling the sweetener makes them healthier than purchasing the store-bought version.
Use a mix of pistachios and cranberries for a sweet, salty, and indulgent taste. I love using Wonderful Pistachios because they come shelled, so give them a rough chop and then toss them into the batter. Those pistachios are rich in those better-for-you mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
These take seconds to whip together. And are sooooooo good.
I created these for Wonderful Pistachios, and I think you’ll love them!
