To sign *granola*, start by holding your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up. Form a claw shape (a curved '5' handshape) with your dominant hand and rub your fingertips in a circular motion against your non-dominant palm, as if mixing or crushing grains. After completing this motion, smoothly transition into fingerspelling the word G-R-A-N-O-L-A.
Sign 'I', 'EAT', 'YOGURT', 'WITH', and then sign 'GRANOLA' by making the circular mixing motion on your palm followed by fingerspelling.
Sign 'YOU', 'WANT', 'GRANOLA', and then use your index fingers and thumbs to outline the shape of a rectangular bar.
Sign 'I', 'LOVE', 'MAKE', and then perform the 'GRANOLA' sign, making sure to clearly fingerspell the letters at the end.

Yes. Because there isn't a single, universally established sign for granola, fingerspelling is required to be specific. The initial mixing motion provides helpful context, but the spelled word is what clarifies the exact food.
While granola is often eaten like cereal, the standard sign for 'CEREAL' (wiping an index finger across the chin) translates strictly to cereal. If you specifically mean granola, you should use this compound sign or fingerspell it.
The claw hand rubbing against the flat palm is a descriptive motion. It visually represents the action of mixing, crushing, or grinding the oats, nuts, and other ingredients used to make granola.
