Cran-Pistachio Granola

Granola is a popular healthy breakfast food, but many store-bought varieties are high in added sugar. Making your own keeps the sugary calories low, and the cranberries add a powerful component to this recipe—these sassy little berries are known for fighting inflammation and promoting heart health.
