Homemade Holiday Granola
There is something fun about experimenting with food over the holidays. I love bringing together holiday colors in dishes or snacks you might not ever consider.
That is what I love about this Homemade Holiday Granola recipe.
It brings together the colors of Christmas in a healthy snack for the entire family to enjoy!
It wasn’t until recently that I started making granola or trail mix from scratch. If I needed it, I would likely pick it up at the grocery store. But in doing Family Food Live and other projects, I found some fun recipes that anyone can make.
This recipe combines a ton of different ingredients including my red (cranberries) green (pistachios) and white (white chocolate) — perfect for the holidays.
This also makes a great snack for the kids lunchbox or even as a snack for the reindeer on Christmas Eve!
