6 Fun and Easy Fall Dessert Recipes Made with Cereal
Fall is finally here, and that means comfort food recipes, the tastes of pumpkin and apple you crave and love, and Halloween festivities are back in season!
To celebrate one of our favorite times of the year, we put together our top five easy and fun fall dessert recipes amongst Post® cereal fans, made with our iconic cereals like Grape-Nuts, Dunkin’, Great Grains, OREO O’s, Shredded Wheat, and Raisin Bran.
The best thing about these fall recipes? All you need is a box of our breakfast cereal (which you likely already have in your pantry if you eat as much cereal as we do) and a few baking staples.
These creative cereal renditions of classic fall desserts can be enjoyed during a cozy night in, a fall-themed event, or a Halloween party:
- Grape-Nuts cereal Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
- Dunkin’ cereal Pumpkin Spice Brownies
- Spiced Pumpkin Bread with Great Grains Cranberries and Almonds cereal
- OREO O’s cereal Spooky Monster Treats
- Shredded Wheat cereal Apple Crisp
- Apple Raisin Bran Cereal Muffins
