It’s inspired by the store-bought Cookie Crisp cereal but offers a homemade twist, allowing for better control over the ingredients and a fresher taste. This cereal combines the fun of eating cookies with the convenience of a bowl of cereal, making it a perfect treat for kids and adults alike.

My kid went crazy over this cereal which he also refers to mini chocolate chip cookies and having cookies in the morning as a breakfast just makes his day. He wants it in his cereal bowl with milk and finishes it without any help!

I occasionally have sleepovers and i love every bit of it. After a kids sleepover which always includes a lot of games and running and what not, they are usually very tired the next morning. Giving this homemade healthy cookie crisp cereal breakfast just seems like a great fun treat for kids first thing in the morning and also brings back their energy in no time.
