Description
A delightful twist on a childhood classic that combines crunchy Cheerios with buttery cinnamon goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Cheerios
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: a dash of vanilla extract, nuts, or nut butter
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
- Once the butter is bubbling, add the Cheerios, stirring gently to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon and sugar while stirring continuously to ensure even distribution.
- Cook until the Cheerios are golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl, optionally topping with more cinnamon and sugar, and serve warm.
Notes
