Maria decides to make granola bars for breakfast. She follows a recipe that calls for 6 cups of rolled oats and 2 cups of almonds. What is the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds?

The unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds can be found by dividing the number of cups of rolled oats by the number of cups of almonds.

The unit rate is 6 cups of rolled oats / 2 cups of almonds = <<6/2=3>>3 cups of rolled oats per cup of almonds. Answer: \boxed{3}.
