Cookie Crisp Cereal

So, I have to be honest. I tried cookie crisp cereal for the first time last year and lets just say that it was a huge disappointment! I expected there to be the delicious taste of crunchy, sweet, vanilla chic-chip cookies! However, it tastes just like any other cereal just in cookie shapes and the chic-chips were pretty tasteless.

From that day onwards I was determined to create my own! Who knew that it would be a secretly good for you recipe that is one bowl! Whenever I make this recipe, my whole family fights over the cookie scraps and they always ask that I make more.

Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? It is by far my favourite cookie variety! You can omit the chocolate chips in the recipe, but do so at your own risk! If you would like to change things up, I would recommend trying different mix in’s.

Storing Protein Cookie Breakfast Cereal

I store my cookie cereal in an airtight container! This helps keep them nice and crispy, and prevents them from going stale! I find glass jars and ziplock bags work best. This recipe can also be frozen, If you would like the cookie cereal to last for longer!
