Viral food trends come and go, with some being more worthwhile than others. The key to a great food trick or trend is being easy to replicate at home, requiring minimal ingredients, and leaving you amazed by its ingenuity. Take, for example, the three-ingredient Valentine’s pretzel kisses – they are quick to make, delicious, and customizable for any occasion beyond Valentine’s Day.
One trending food hack that fits the bill of being easy and minimal is the sweet, cinnamon tortilla cereal created by Melissa Ben-Ishay of Baked By Melissa. Melissa, known for her quick and easy recipes, shared this hack on Instagram and TikTok, garnering a following for its simplicity and deliciousness.
I decided to try this Cinnamon Toast Crunch dupe made with flour tortillas as the star ingredient. As a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I was intrigued by the idea of making a cereal using tortillas and a few other ingredients.
The recipe calls for just three main ingredients – flour tortillas, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Simply cut the tortillas into small squares, mix with the sugar and spices, cook until crispy, and enjoy with milk.
After trying the tortilla cereal hack, I was pleasantly surprised by the results. While it didn’t taste exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, it was still sweet, crunchy, and delicious. The tortilla squares crisped up nicely, and the cinnamon-sugar coating masked any floury taste.
Overall, I found this hack to be a fun and tasty alternative to store-bought cereal. While it may not replace my favorite brand entirely, I appreciated the flavors and textures it offered, along with the customizability.
In conclusion, this tortilla cereal hack is a great option for a late-night snack when you’re low on groceries. It may not be a perfect dupe for Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it’s a creative and enjoyable way to satisfy your cereal cravings.
