'breakfast favourite' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'surprisingly most of army deem granola a' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'army' with its last letter taken away is 'arm'.
'arm'+'deem'+'granola'+'a'='armdeemgranolaa'
'armdeemgranolaa' anagrammed gives 'ORANGE MARMALADE'.
