Granola

Granola is a baked mixture of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners that forms crisp clusters. It works as breakfast cereal, yogurt or fruit topping, and snack; common retail forms include loose mixes, chunky clusters, and bars, often flavored with honey, maple, chocolate, or dried fruit.

Originating in the United States as a 19th-century health cereal, granola saw a modern revival in natural foods circles in the mid-20th century and spread globally. Today it is produced commercially and baked at home, typically by coating oats and mix-ins with oil and sweetener and baking until dry and golden.
