How to Make Granola With Puffed Rice Cereal (6 Steps)
When you want to take your granola from "twigs and berries" health food to a nutritious cereal brimming with interesting flavors and textures, start by adding grains other than rolled oats to your personal blend. Flat, crispy puffed rice cereal is a perfect foil to the rounded, denser crunch of rolled oats. Round out the grains with a cornucopia of nuts, seeds and dried fruit, as well as honey, cinnamon and other flavors.
