Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'granola' (a mixture of oats, nuts, dried fruit) with 'bar' (a solid, snack-shaped piece): a granola bar is literally a bar made from granola. This product+bar compound follows a common and cross-linguistically transparent pattern (e.g. cereal bar, energy bar), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Granola bar comes from pressing granola (a baked mix of oats, nuts and honey) into a small bar you can hold. That's why the name now means a compact, portable food you eat as a 'quick snack'.
