Coconut Instant Coffee Granola
A cup of coffee and a bowl of granola are two common breakfast items, so why not combine the two?
Granola usually consists of a mixture of oats, fruits, nuts, and seeds and has become an immensely popular breakfast food option.
Granola was first invented by Dr. James Caleb Jackson in 1863. His concoction was made from graham flour baked into cakes, and due its long bake time, it was virtually inedible. The cakes had to be soaked in milk or water overnight for them to be soft enough to chew, so the food did not gain much popularity.
Granola resurfaced once more in the 1960s, and was made with rolled oats, wheat germ, and sesame seeds. It gained more popularity in the 1970s when the first mass market granola company was established. This was Heartland Natural Cereal, which still exists today.
Although granola is a popular item in many stores, it is something that can easily be homemade, for a fraction of the price.
