A granular food product for preparation of instant foods is prepared by mixing an oil or fat with an edible carbohydrate and/or protein powder materials to obtain a first mixture, and then further edible carbohydrate and/or protein powder materials are mixed with the first mixture to obtain a second mixture which is powdery or dough-like and that mixture is formed into granules by moistening and particle-to-particle contacting, and then the granules are dried.
