Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
Make on FrescoMake your own cinnamon crunch cereal with whole grains, real cinnamon and honey.
When I lived in the States, I was a sucker for their renowned sugary cereals...there is one called Cinnamon Toast Crunch (from memory!) that was my total favourite. This is an attempt to recreate that cereal with somewhat less guilt! Plus, it is kind of fun to make a box of cereal! They are pretty delicious, add the icy cold milk, Saturday morning cartoons (do they still exist?) and it all comes flooding back. I think your kids will love you for this one.
This recipe also appears in the very popular ebook ‘What’s for Breakfast?’ If you don’t already have a copy, (why not?) go and get yours immediately HERE. Or get it for free by joining theInsider Club. Bargain! It’s cheaper than a box of cereal and adds much, much more value to breakfast than you can ever imagine. Happy Mixing.
