CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH GRANOLA

My take on my childhood favorite cereal! It’s the best granola I’ve ever made and I’m obsessed!!

It’s essentially a very cinnamon-forward granola with rice chex cereal mixed in to try to replicate those cinnamon sugar squares.

To give it that nostalgic flavor, the granola gets tossed in a cinnamon sugar butter halfway through.

brought this to my annual summer family reunion and it was a huge hit!
