Make Your Own Cereal

In today’s post, we’re inviting you to spend some time in your kitchen in Phoenix, Arizona. For many of us, a bowl of cereal is what gets us started each day. Instead of heading out to the grocery store and purchasing your favorite boxes of cereal, why not try to make your favorites in your Liv Ahwatukee apartment? This week, we’re highlighting recipes for a few classic bowls of cereal.

 

Reese’s Puffs

What could be a more exciting breakfast treat than your very own bowl of homemade Reese’s Puffs? Not much. While the recipe yields about two cups of cereal, the result is filling — even if you’ve been known to eat a lot of cereal each morning. Yes, this recipe should make enough for you.

 

Lucky Charms

This one can be quite the challenge for many, but if you’re up for diving in then go for it! This is a breakfast that you aren’t sure to forget anytime soon. While shaping the marshmallows to the shapes of your choice is a fun idea, it takes a lot of hard work to finish. The result, however, makes the hard work worthwhile. It’s a colorful accomplishment that anyone would be proud of attaining.

 

Cheerios

Making a cereal that has been people’s favorite for generations is actually quite remarkable, and each spoonful is delicious. While the process of making homemade Cheerios is tedious — rolling tiny balls, poking a hole through each of them — it’s very enjoyable and, dare we say, therapeutic? We think so. Yes, just like making any of these cereals, it might take quite a bit of time out of your morning before you’re finished, but the result is worth it.

 

Homemade Cheerios are a bit larger and puffier than the ones you’ll find in the store, but the flavor and crunch in each bite are great.

 

Cocoa Puffs

Here’s another breakfast favorite. Included in the ingredients are flour, cocoa powder, salt, honey, and greek yogurt. They take about 15 minutes to bake and should be good for about a week.

 

Heather, of Well Floured, said, “The puffs are very chocolatey and slightly sweet; if you like a sweeter cereal simply add a few tablespoons of sugar to the dough. I should  have made a larger batch because these didn’t live to see morning.”

 

If you like chocolate, you might want to make more than this recipe calls for.

 

Apple Jacks

From preparation until completion, this recipe takes about an hour to complete. Enjoy the flavorful combination of freeze-dried apples, cinnamon, and sugar.

 

Corn Flakes

Many recipes (not necessarily for breakfast) require corn flakes. Instead of going out to buy a whole box of cereal, of which you’ll only need to use a cup, why not make some? This recipe is a great reimagining of the classic breakfast cereal.
