Granola

Granola is a type of breakfast food and snack made from rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners, and sometimes puffed rice. It is usually baked in an oven. Granola is often eaten with milk, yogurt, or fruit.

The first known recipe for granola was published in 1874, in the Boston Cooking School Cookbook. The recipe was made with oatmeal, bran, cornmeal, and wheat germ.

In the early 1900s, health food advocates began to promote granola as a healthy food. John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of corn flakes, developed a granola-like food that he called "granula". Kellogg's granula was made of baked whole wheat biscuits that were crumbled and then baked again.

Advice

When making granola, it is important to use quality ingredients and to follow the recipe closely. Be sure to mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients before adding them to the baking dish, as this will help ensure that the granola is evenly distributed. It is also important to spread the granola in an even layer before baking it, as this will help ensure even baking. Lastly, it is important to bake the granola until it is golden brown and crunchy. You can also experiment with adding different ingredients such as nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and other ingredients to give your granola a unique flavor.
