Granola is a baked breakfast cereal and snack made from rolled oats tossed with nuts and seeds, bound with an oil and a sweetener — honey, maple syrup or brown sugar — and toasted in the oven until it sets into crunchy golden clusters. Dried fruit, coconut, spices and extra grains are usually folded in after baking. Toasty, nutty and sweet, it is eaten dry by the handful, poured into a bowl with milk, or spooned over yogurt and fruit. Marketed for decades as a wholesome "health food," granola is in fact energy-dense and often strikingly high in added sugar and fat — a nuance its halo tends to obscure.
