Ingredients
- 8 cups Cheerios (original, not flavored)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional but recommended)
Step-by-Step Instructions
When I start this recipe, I always melt the butter in the skillet first over medium heat. I’ve tried melting it on high to speed things up, but the butter browned too quickly and gave the Cheerios a flavor that distracted from the classic mini donut feel. Once it’s melted and bubbling softly, I pour in all the Cheerios and give them a slow, even stir so every piece gets glossy and coated in warm butter. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
