They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what about when breakfast becomes part of dessert? Enter the world of breakfast-inspired desserts, where food bloggers are taking beloved breakfast cereals and turning them into delectable treats. While we’re not sure the health benefits are exactly the same, we can say with certainty that these desserts are a fun and creative way to indulge in childhood favorites. Here are a few ideas to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
Made with real cinnamon as well as plenty of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, these cookies taste a bit like snickerdoodles, but better. Ground cereal in the batter enhances the cinnamon sugar flavor of the cookie, while a cereal milk cream cheese frosting on top ties it all together.
Baked Fruity Pebbles Donuts
This recipe puts a playful spin on a classic vanilla donut by incorporating Fruity Pebbles cereal into the batter. The result is a colorful, kid-friendly treat that’s only made better with the addition of a vanilla glaze and Fruity Pebbles topping.
Lucky Charms Treats
The only way to improve a cereal full of marshmallows is by mixing it with butter and even more marshmallows. This fun take on Rice Krispie Treats calls for Lucky Charms in place of puffed rice cereal. It easily comes together with only three ingredients to create a fun and colorful treat that’s magically delicious.
