They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s so true. Not only does it fuel your beginning, but it also is a fun way to start your day off right with some family energy. Now on a school day we get less chit-chat and more get up and go, but the weekends and the upcoming summer will provide tons of time to really make sure our morning is indeed among the best moment of the day. When it comes to eating, our family enjoys a variety of different treats. From biscuits to eggs, rolls to pancakes, you never know what the kids will request when they get up. But nothing reigns more supreme in our home than CEREAL. While other families likely run out of bread every week, my family can kill a box of cereal in 7 days flat. In fact, they eat it not only for breakfast but I am often asked for it as a snack and a fun dinner as well. And why not? Cereal can be packed with key nutrients and delicious ways to get your day going but also is so packed full of flavors and colors that its enjoyable to eat.
If your family is anything like mine, I am so excited to share with you a fun and innovative way to enjoy your cereal and still put some variety in your breakfast with this Cereal Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls Recipe! Yep, cereal stuff. Easily made, you can take something delicious like these brand new Cinnamon Pebbles and combine with Cinnamon Rolls to make a treat that your whole family will love making AND eating.

Cereal Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
quick version
- Depending on how long you have in the morning, you may want a quick version. To enjoy this fun treat quickly, buy prepackaged Cinnamon Rolls. The kind that actually unwind will work the best but if you buy smaller ones (like I do for portion sizes) you can just carefully split them apart.
- The amount of cereal you need to stuff them with will depend on the rolls but you will likely need around 1 cup to do an entire batch.
- Once your rolls are split, carefully push your Cinnamon Pebbles into the middle and close up, securing the roll again.
Cook according to directions on the can and enjoy! - The fun crunch of these combined with the Cinnamon on cinnamon flavors is a sure fire wake up in the morning. And mom- kids love to help make them too!
