Corn Flake Breakfast Bars are a 15-minute handheld breakfast bar made from corn flakes, dried cranberries, slivered almonds, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips and marshmallows.
I get up early. Real early. Five thirty in the morning that alarm goes off and I’m off on another day of working two jobs.
*Yawn* I try to do everything I can to make sure mornings go smooth for my family and myself, including thinking “out of the bowl” to make sure we have a tasty, fulfilling breakfast, like Corn Flake Breakfast Bars.
Make sure you PIN Corn Flake Breakfast Bars!
On the weekends I love a bowl of Corn Flakes with fresh fruit and ice cold milk, but during the week I need a handheld meal I can chow down in the car and transforming Kellogg’s Corn Flakes into breakfast bars is just the ticket.
Instead of using fresh fruit, I add dried cranberries with creamy peanut butter and almonds for hunger fighting protein. You can also use dried cherries, or really any dried fruit you please.
Marshmallow and mini chocolate chips add just enough sticky and sweet to make Corn Flake Breakfast Bars good enough to eat for breakfast, an after school snack or even dessert. The perfect fix any time of day!
Corn Flake Breakfast Bars are so easy to make that you can make their preparation a family activity. Ready in just 10 minutes, there is always time to whip up a batch.
I like to cut and place my Corn Flake Breakfast Bars in individual plastic bags for easy grab-and-go access in the morning. I eat it in the car on my way to work!

Tools for making Corn Flake Breakfast Bars:
9 x 13 Glass Baking Dish– an absolute essential for any kitchen! Use it for baking, marinating or storing. Get one with a lid, you’ll thank me later.
Heavy Bottom Sauce Pan– this will be one of your most used kitchen tools. Having something that is heavy bottom will distribute heat better and prevent burning whether you are using an electric or gas range.
Wooden Spoons– for sticky sauces, wooden spoons work best, but they tend to splinter and split, so I order them in bulk and just toss them when they start to get gross.

These bars were so easy to make and my family loved them. They are great for breakfast and tucked in lunchboxes for snacks too!
My kids loved these! And I love that they’ll actually eat breakfast now.
A 5am wake up to work two jobs? You are amazing! Love all the added protein in these breakfast bars.
Totally just pinned these! I’m making them Sunday!
I feel that pain – I get up at that time, too. But now that school’s out, I’ll probably get an extra hour some days (woot!). I love a grab-n-go cereal option, so perfect for those morning where I just can’t bring myself to dirty another dish. 😉
When I get up early like that I have noooo desire to eat. My tummy doesn’t wake up until about 9am, lol! Good thing these can be mobile, perfect fit!
Totally! I throw one in my purse and eat when I’m ready!
I can’t imagine getting up that early any more. I used to, but ugh! Today 7:15 kicks my butt! More power to you! Your cereal bars look wonderful!
LOL, Karyn! You do what you have to do, I suppose!
Just reading about how early you get up made me tired!! I love this idea for a quick and easy breakfast!
My kids would love to try this! It looks like a great way to get the cereal out of the bowl! [client]
