Delicious snacking cookies made with Post Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O's Cereal.
My family was talking about snacks the other day, and the idea of making snacks with breakfast cereal came up. Obviously the most used idea for this is making bars with cereal, but I wanted to try making something different. So I decided to try my hand at making some breakfast cereal cookies for a different snack.
The kids and I headed to Walmart to see what kinds of cereal would be good in cookies. I don't know about you, but sometimes the cereal aisle can be overwhelming! There are so many choices! We love Honey Bunches of Oats cereal for breakfast, and we were surprised to see several new varieties of Post cereals at Walmart, including a fun new Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch cereal inspired by the movie!
We decided to try the new Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O's cereal, which my local Walmart offered in 2 varieties: Honey Crunch O's and Almond Crunch O's. Turning it into a snack seemed like a simple idea. We also grabbed a bag of Berry Colossal Crunch cereal, since we enjoy munching on dry Berry Colossal Crunch for a snack as well.
Coming up with a recipe for breakfast cereal cookies took a little trial and error, but the final product turned out great! My kids loved that the cookies, and they were easy enough for the kids to help bake. And they thought it was hilarious to be eating cereal in cookies!
These breakfast cereal cookies are a great grab-and-go snack, and I loved how easy they were to make. The recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies. If you want more cookies, you can easily double the recipe, especially since the cookies freeze well.

My family loves eating breakfast together. It's a great way to start our day, and I love the variety of cereals Post offers that allow us to enjoy our breakfast together. But even more than that, I love that their cereals are ones that we can enjoy as snacks as well-- like in these delicious cookies!

What a fun idea! The kids have cereal for breakfast every morning (usually the Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted cereal), but I'm always the one running out the door without a bite - it would be great to have a breakfast cookie to enjoy so I'm not hours into the day before I realize I never ate! #client
Oh man, you definitely don't want to skip breakfast! They freeze really well, so whip up a batch and throw them in the freezer, and just grab one or two out each morning!
This is a great way to change things up from an otherwise ordinary everyday breakfast.
Definitely! And they're great for snacks as well!
Thanks for the amazing recipe. Must try for my whole family.
You're very welcome!
I love the cereal on its own, I bet the cookies are even better! Pinning to make very soon!
The cookies are so good! Thanks for pinning-- I hope you enjoy!
I don't usually buy cereal because I try to avoid processed foods, but I love the idea of breakfast cookies. I think my kids will think I have gone crazy if I offer them cookies for breakfast. LOL
Haha, sometimes crazy is a good thing!
These breakfast cookies look so good. They are perfect for taking with me in the morning while I am driving to work.
Definitely, and then have another on your way home for a snack!
Well, why not??? 🙂 These sound good and I bet all the kids in the neighborhood will love them for after school snacks.
Oh they definitely will! Even my friend's very picky son loved them!
These look soo good that I am just going to have to try them out. Breakfast Cereal could be something I need to get some food in my system in the morning!
I hope you try them out and let us know what you think!
This sounds delicious! What a great way to make cookies a little better. I love Honey Bunches of Oats.
Such a great cereal, and it turned out delicious in the cookies!
We think these are wonderful. Love cookies and love breakfast def going to try and make these.
We are big cookie fans here.
So, technically if one eats lets say 4 of them does that equal an entire bowl of cereal or could be really eat 6 and not feel guilty? Those cookies look delicious!
Hehehe..... I like where you're going with this!
(But the honest truth is they're actually pretty filling-- I think 2 would be sufficient)
Honey Bunches of Oats has always been my absolute FAVORITE cereal of all time. I would love to try this recipe because we are always strapped for time in the mornings before school. Thanks for the breakfast recipe inspo!
We love Honey Bunches of Oats as well, and the kids think the new Crunch O's varieties are fabulous!
Not only would my husband love this but my children would love too as well. They look amazing, pinning for sure!
My whole family gobbled them up!
These look absolutely delicious! I'm thinking about recreating them in my kitchen using a gluten free cereal. I think my husband and I would really enjoy these 🙂
I hope you enjoy! Let me know how it turns out!
Those cookies sound so yummy! What an awesome way to have breakfast on the go 🙂
They are delicious, and perfect for breakfast or a snack!
