Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or a dairy alternative like almond or oat milk. If you're looking to switch things up, try adding fresh fruit like bananas or berries, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. For a crunchier bite, opt for granola instead of traditional cereal. Always check the expiration date on your cereal box for the best taste.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is great for breakfast, but can also be served as a quick snack. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit or toast for a balanced meal. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey on top. It can also be enjoyed alongside American recipes like pancakes or waffles for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftover cereal and milk, it's best to store them separately. Keep any remaining cereal in an airtight container to maintain its crunchiness, and store milk in the refrigerator. Cereal can last for weeks when stored properly, while milk should be consumed within a week after opening. Reheat any leftover milk gently if needed, but it's often best enjoyed fresh.
