Puffed Cereal Granola

1 cup puffed rice or kamut (I used Arrowhead Mills Organic)
1 cup puffed amaranth (same)
2 cups oats (not quick oats)
1/2 cup chopped nuts or sunflower seeds, optional
1/4 cup olive oil, or canola oil
1/2 cup maple syrup or other syrup*


Mix ingredients together in order listed. Spread on cookie sheet. Baked at 325 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until granola is evenly browned. Cool, then store in an airtight container. Makes about 4 cups.



*honey can also be used, however I would add more oil because honey granola tends to be very sticky and hard to remove from the cookie sheet. You could try half honey/half maple syrup, perhaps?
