If you’re anything like us, most mornings have the same routine: wake up, get dressed, eat the same boring breakfast, off to work, and then repeat. Time to break that habit just a little bit and try something different…at least in the breakfast department. Skip the tired, traditional routine of pouring milk and cereal in a bowl every morning, and instead try starting your day off with one of these six delicious cereal recipes that are sure to upgrade your breakfast experience and take it to the next level.

Cinnamon Crunch French Toast Sticks
This recipe for Cinnamon Crunch French Toast Sticks will have you wanting breakfast for dinner every single night. Enjoy your cereal in a different way by making it into a crunchy and decadent coating for a new twist on the breakfast classic, french toast sticks.
