Everyone knows that you can used crushed cornflakes to coat chicken or fish, so I'm not going to bore you with that.

Here are three genius ways to use cereal that you didn't know.

Rice Krispie Meatloaf

Use Rice Krispie cereal as a binder instead of bread crumbs. This would work well if you have a wheat allergy.

Raisin Bran Muffins

I used Raisin Bran with cranberries and raisins for added fruit.

Corn Flake Crusted Tuna Casserole

Adding crushed Corn Flakes mixed with butter, parmesan cheese and garlic powder gives an ordinary tuna casserole a nice crunch.

The meatloaf recipe sounds amazing, but not sure about the other two. That being said, I remember my mother (back back in the '60s) using finally crushed corn flakes, or finely crushed potato chips to roll fried Chicken in and then cook it. Always tasted so good, and is one of my mother's better recipes that I remember. She died when I was 15, so I am glad I had opportunities to watch her in the kitchen to see how she created her food. Can't go wrong with corn flakes! 😊
