I'm only breastfeeding and my baby's poop is mustard yellow with small granules. Is this healthy poop?

Yes, mustard-yellow color and small granules (sometimes described as "like cottage cheese") is completely healthy and expected in a baby who is only breastfed. These granules are undigested fat and protein particles, very common in formula-free breastfed babies. The consistency might be like pudding or slightly loose. As long as it's not hard/dry or green/bloody, everything is fine. The frequency of poops varies baby to baby, but this color and texture indicate healthy digestion.
