Coffee cake and cereal may seem like an unlikely combination, but we’re hoping this recipe will convince you. Crunchy cinnamon-laced streusel is one of the best parts of a good coffee cake, so to add additional texture and even more cinnamon flavor to the topping, we’ve added cinnamon square cereal into the mix. You can substitute any type of cinnamon cereal, just make sure it is evenly crushed. For this recipe we used Cinnamon Toast Crunch with great success.
