Honeycomb Turns 50! Morning Cereal Muffins Recipe
This is a sponsored post for Honeycomb. All opinions are mine.
I love cereal. Kids love cereal. In fact, it’s more than just a breakfast staple around here. I’m actually more likely to eat a bowl of cereal as a late night snack than as an early morning meal. Most mornings you can find at least one of my kids eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, though.
One of my longtime favorites has been Honeycomb.
With a sweet honey taste, 10 essential vitamins and minerals as well as 8g of whole grain per serving, Honeycomb makes a great way to start your morning. To celebrate Honeycomb turning 50 this year, we were sent a box of the cereal to enjoy and it’s just as good now as was back then. Safe to say, Honeycomb is aging well.
You can do more with Honeycomb than just eat it in a bowl with milk, however, so I whipped up a batch of Honeycomb Morning Cereal Muffins. You can find the full recipe here, along with other ideas incorporating the cereal, or keep reading below for the directions!
Honeycomb is such a classic cereal and these are tasty muffins, perfect for a quick grab and go in the morning rush!

Happy 50th Birthday Honeycomb

Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday to you… Happy Birthday Honeycomb!
Those sound all kinds of awesome! I love Honeycombs, but never thought to bake with them. Very clever!
I have honeycomb cereal in my pantry! I am going to try these muffins. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Every once in a while, there is something about a bowl of cereal that lures me in! These sound awesome – I will need to make them for breakfast when my son is home from school this summer!
These look delicious! I haven’t had Honeycomb cereal in years but I really want to try this recipe!
How fun! I didn’t have any clue that Honeycomb had been around so long. I guess when you’ve got a good thing going, your loyal fans will keep on filling up their breakfast bowls with ya!
Yum, that sounds like an awesome flavor to go with muffins. I love Honeycomb cereal!
Honeycomb cereal is so good, I haven’t thought about it for a long time! While your recipe looks absolutely delicious, I’d definitely try to leave the cereal out so I can have more in my bowl 🙂
Mmm…. I loved Honeycomb as a kid! What a fun recipe to recapture a little childhood magic.
LOL, I can remember when Honeycombs came out! I was 13 years old.
I grew up eating Honey Combs and now my kids do too! Love the recipe you out together
