puffs

Explanation:
Puffs = food with high air content.

Example:

"Kix is an extruded expanded puffed grain product. The grain is processed and expanded (water is added and it is pulverized). Cooking of Kix occurs in the extruder and then the dough is formed into the desired shape as it is extruded through a die.

Kix was the first cereal to be manufactured with this process.[citation needed] Before the development of extruded expanded puffed grain cereals, only flake type cereals had been marketed."

I clicked too fast and I forgot to add:

Depending on their shape, they are sometimes called "squares".

Example:
Oatmeal Squares

So, you might call them:

puffed cereal squares
