Ina large bowl, combine the rolled oats, puffed rice and sliced almonds.
Ina separate bowl, whisk together the oil, brown rice syrup or another other syrup, agave sweetener and vanilla bean paste.
Add the oil mixture to the rolled oats mixture.
Mix well to coat evenly.
Spread out mixture onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Press the granola into the pan to break up any large clumps.
Bake at a 325 degree oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even color. It should be a light golden color. It may be slightly wet when it comes out of the oven. It will dry as it cools. Press down the granola before it cools to get it to stick together.
Let cool.
