Description

Warm milk meets butter-kissed Cheerios glazed with cinnamon and brown sugar, topped with soft mini doughnut pieces that melt in your mouth with every crunchy spoonful.


Ingredients

  • 4 mini doughnuts
  • 3 cups Cheerios
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Chop the mini doughnuts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
  4. Add the Cheerios to the skillet and toss gently to coat each piece in the cinnamon-butter glaze.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, then transfer the coated Cheerios to serving bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with chopped mini doughnuts and pour warm milk over the mixture before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly glazed mini doughnuts for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust the brown sugar and cinnamon quantity to taste.
  • Serve immediately to keep the Cheerios crisp and the doughnuts soft.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
