Popcorn Granola Clusters

Granola. A 7 letter "bad word" in the nutrition world. Typically loaded with calories and covered in sugar, store bought granola may not always be the greatest breakfast choice. But, you love granola, so what do you do? Take 20 minutes and make your own. These Crunchy Granola Clusters are made with two whole grains - YEP, popcorn is a whole grain [just air pop your own using a brown paper bag or my favorite popcorn maker to reduce fat and salt]! This is a snack game changer or crunchy yogurt topper that almost...almost...tastes like kettle corn.
