GRANOLA BREAKFAST BREAD
Oats and other rolled grains are an excellent addition to quick breads. They are also
the basic ingredients in granola, a very popular cereal blend, usually containing oats,
dried fruit, nuts, and sunflower seeds all moistened with some honey and oil and baked
in a slow oven. Since granola is called for here, you could call this loaf a dressed-up
oatmeal bread. Granola can be lowfat or high-fat, depending on the ingredients. It is a
cereal that was invented by the Swiss for rejuvenating breakfasts at their renowned
European health spas. It was introduced to the American youth as breakfast at the first
Woodstock Music Festival in 1969, and afterwards was associated with the hippie cul-
ture as a favorite natural breakfast food. It has evolved into one of America’s favorite
cereals. Granola’s crisp texture and earthy-sweet fragrance make this bread a great
breakfast treat. Serve thick slices with fresh fruit and juice.
