Easy Breakfast Cereal Muffins Recipe
I have the perfect spin on your favorite cereal for you guys today. Turn your favorite cereal into your favorite muffins with this easy Morning Cereal Muffins Recipe!
The folks at Post Foods emailed me to let me know that Honeycomb Cereal was celebrating it’s 50th Birthday and they were celebrating! I, of course, wanted to get in on the celebration too 🙂 And so did my daughter!
She woke up this past weekend at 7 a.m. and I heard her rustling around in the kitchen, so I peeked around the corner and I saw her getting out plates, fruit, and our Honeycomb cereal. How adorable is that??!!
I couldn’t resist her cuteness, so we started on our muffins right away. She helped with every step along the way, but her favorite parts were sprinkling on the topping and taste-testing Honeycombs while we waited for the muffins to finish up in the oven 😉
Now, here is the Cereal Muffins Recipe, make sure to Print It and Pin It so that you can make it again and again.

This would be a great way to use up leftover cereal! I don’t see why you couldn’t use other cereal varieties.
I would definitely say you could use whatever cereal is your favorite – be sure to let me know if you try it!
My grandbabies are going to love this.thanks so much for sharing.
You’re welcome! Enjoy 🙂
These look so delicious! I would love to try this with the kids.
Sigh. Oh my, do these sound good. I’m on a low-carb eating trend so these are totally out of bounds for me. But I can dream!
What a cool idea. I bet you could use just about any cereal with these but I like Honeycombs. I might try with Fruity Pebbles too. That would look pretty.
Thank you for the recipe. I am not a breakfast eater but my husband would like this one very much.
oh love this! would probably be great with cinnamon toast too!!!
so delicious! I would love to try
This is definitely something different, I am not sure if i have the stomach to eat this cereal in my muffin but I bet my grandchildren would love one 🙂
I think this is so fun! I love doing things together as a family, I can’t wait until my daughter gets a little older!
Cute recipe! It’s a nice way to eat cereal when you get tired of the usual cereal in a bowl with milk. This is much more portable.

I never thought of using cereal for muffins. My 2 granddaughters love Post Honeycomb cereal. I’ll let them help me make these muffins. Thanks for recipe.
This is a good way to use cereal. The box usually gets stale before it’s eaten. Frosted flakes would be another good one to use.
I love both cereal and muffins! I so want to make this recipe!
