A tiny amount of oil helps cinnamon cling to puffed rice. Stir the spice into the oil before it meets the cereal, then add chewy raisins and ready-roasted sunflower seeds. Keep the mixing light so the puffed grains do not get crushed.

Before you begin · grown-up check

An adult checks the setup, ingredient labels and task suitability, then stays nearby while the young cook prepares the recipe without heat.

  • Together wash hands with soap and water and clean the work surface.
  • Adult checks ingredient labels, equipment and task suitability; ages are starting guides, not a guarantee of readiness.
  • An adult stays nearby throughout.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

The skill you’re learning

A little oil can carry a powdered spice. Mixing the two first spreads the cinnamon more evenly than dropping it in one dry heap.

Try one change

Replace the sunflower seeds with 1/4 cup ready-to-eat roasted shelled pumpkin seeds; check the labels.

Serving & storing

Keep airtight in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days; it is crispest the day it is mixed. Follow any shorter ingredient-label limit.
