This is my easy pistachio granola bars recipe. They’re nutty, lightly sweet, and simple to make at home. I make these when I want a quick snack I can prep once and eat all week.
I like this recipe because it uses basic ingredients and comes together fast. Pistachios add crunch and healthy fats, cranberries add a little sweetness, and coconut gives extra texture.
They bake until lightly golden and slice easily once cooled. These granola bars are great for breakfast, snacks, or when you want something homemade without much effort.
Below is my full recipe so you can make them at home.
