Granola

A breakfast cereal made from rolled oats, nuts, and dried fruits, usually sweetened with honey or sugar and baked until crispy.

Granola was invented in America in the 1870s, derived from 'granule,' meaning a small grain or particle. The term comes from Latin 'granum' (grain), and the '-ola' suffix was added to create a brand name that caught on.
