Did you know that it’s “National Cereal Day” today? Yep, that is a thing. A glorious, delicious thing! In honor of this day dedicated to our favorite breakfast treat, we are sharing a wide range of recipes using cereal, some of which you’ve probably never even thought of before. So I wanted to take things to a whole other level by rounding up some recipes that use cereal as an ingredient in very clever ways. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
Captain Crunch French Toast. This recipe from Lick The Bowl Good takes French toast and coats it in captain crunch cereal. Crispy but light, this will be delicious!
Chicken Divan. This delicious recipe for Chicken Divan from Cozy Country Living will be a new family favorite. I make chicken divan often and it is so good! The creamy chicken mixed with crunchy broccoli and topped with toasted corn flakes is a win for everyone who’s eating it!
Cereal and Milk Cupcakes with Cereal Milk Buttercream. This recipe for Fruit Loop cupcakes from A Latte Food are sure to be a huge hit with your kids. It almost feels like every kid’s favorite cereal is always Fruit Loops and putting them on top of cupcakes only makes them that much better!
Rice Krispie Chicken. Instead of breading your chicken with the typical bread crumbs, try Rice Krispies next time for a fun spin on a classic! This recipe from Lucy’s Kitchen Blog can be your go to! The rice krispies will make the chicken snap, crackle, and pop right in your mouth!
Cheerio Treats. I’m about to get in my kitchen and make these right now. This recipe from Ambitious Kitchen combines Cheerios and dark chocolate – two of my favorite things. Nothing says delicious like a chocolately dessert bar full of Cheerio goodness.
Apple Jacks Cereal Cookies. This recipe from Stolen Moments Cooking is a spin on the classic sugar cookie, only way better. These doughy, sugary cookies get a kick of added sweetness with apple jacks added in and will melt in your mouth.
Chex Mix. Here is a perfect recipe for all of your holiday parties coming up. This is super easy to make and all of your guests will love it. The recipe from Copy Kat only calls for a few ingredients and is the perfect combo of salty and crunchy! You’ll be grabbing handful after handful.
White Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats. Of course I couldn’t leave out Rice Krispie treats so I hunted down the perfect recipe, and found this from Taste Of Home. Something about Rice Krispies is just comforting. The melted, ooey gooey marshmallows, the crispy cereal, it’s all so good and you can’t just have one.
Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats with Dark Chocolate. If it’s got caramel and sea salt, it’s usually good, but add in dark chocolate, and your favorite cereal, and it’s a winner! This recipe from Brown Eyed Baker combines all your favorite things into one delicious, melt in your mouth bar. Plus, you can use whatever cereal you have on hand to make these!
