- 2 cups puffed rice
- 2 1⁄2 cups puffed millet

- Prepare a 12x18-inch sheet pan by lightly brushing it with canola oil.

Notes
This is a no bake granola bar, but I have found that it is easy to blend it together if the oatmeal has been toasted and it’s still a little warm.
This can be made with sunbutter or almond butter instead of peanut butter
