The holidays make me want to bake constantly. What I don’t want is the sugar and calories. This recipe has the colors and flavors –nutmeg– of the holidays, with guilt-free baking. Granola takes only 5 minutes to throw together and is so much better and lower in sugar than the store bought variety. We make a big batch and eat it for breakfast with plain Greek yogurt or milk and snack on it throughout the week. For a nutritional boost, add some flax seeds to the mix.
Pour into mason jars and tie with a ribbon for a pretty, healthy, and homemade holiday gift.
Granola with Cranberries and Pistachios
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
In a large bowl toss oats with pistachios, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar. Stir in maple and oil to combine. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring half-way through. Cool completely on baking sheet. Stir in cranberries.

I'm so into the color of pistachios right now, and with the cranberries it's so festive—I made white chocolate bark with these two, but this is a whole lot more healthy.
Going to the store right now and adding pistachios to my list so I can make this!! Can't wait!!
Yeah, I pretty much want to stick my whole face in that little jar and vacuum the granola out.

Ahh, I see. Thank you for letting me know, I'm going to go check out the other blogs now 🙂

GORGEOUS pics Marina and the granola sounds guiltlessly delish!

OMG mi desayuno perfecto luce increíble,una gran receta,abrazos cheers,hugs,hugs.
The pistachios and cranberries make this so so festive! Yummmy!
I am starving. I really should go, but you have me enchanted.
We are fairly healthy eaters in our house, but my hub has been watching his sugar intake very carefully lately (Dr's orders). Maybe this would be a good healthy snack to keep full b/w meals.
I love this as a gift idea, too! I need me some Mason jars! 🙂
