Ever hear of trail mix quick bread?  Honey Crunch quick bread is similar, using whole grain cereal with nuts and dried fruit in place of trail mix.  An easy quick bread recipe with loads of flavor and texture. 

Why I love homemade quick breads

I love to make quick bread for my family because they are incredibly easy and I can hide all sorts of good things in them. They are sweet enough for my kids to think they are eating dessert without realizing that they are actually eating something slightly healthy for them.

Whole grains, seeds, and dried fruits are all great things to throw into a quick bread recipe next time you feel like baking. When I was recently sent a box of Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch cereal to try out, I thought this would be a great addition to my next quick bread because it is sweet, crunchy and loaded with whole grains. 

We use cereal in all sorts of ways in my house besides in a bowl with milk for breakfast.  Cereal makes a great addition to trail mix and is tasty dry as a snack.  You can make it into cookies or a tasty quick bread and even crush it up and use it as a coating on other foods.  Who says cereal just has to be for breakfast, right?

Using Honey Bunches of Oats in Homemade Quick bread

New Honey Bunches of Oats Greek is made with two unique granolas made with Greek yogurt, crispy whole grain flakes and a touch of honey. With 33 grams of Whole Grains, one bowl provides over two-thirds of your day's Whole Grains. 

There are tons of whole grain flakes and clusters of sweet, Greek yogurt goodness that made my kids happy to see it in their bowls in the morning. My kids and I both enjoyed the flavor of this cereal straight and it was also a great addition to my quick bread recipe. 

The combination of light and crispy flakes with the clusters of sweet yoghurt was really enjoyable.  Here are a few other facts about this new cereal that you may want to know:
