Save If you want a breakfast that feels like dessert but fuels your morning, these Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast wraps deliver. The combo of creamy yogurt, juicy berries, sweet banana, and that nostalgic crunch from cereal all hugged up in a warm tortilla makes mornings something to look forward to. My kids call them ‘breakfast burritos’ and I love how easy they are to make even on busy days.
Honestly I started making these for my cereal-obsessed niece during sleepovers and now our whole family reaches for them when we want breakfast to be extra fun or especially fast.
Ingredients
- Flour tortillas: Choosing soft large tortillas means you can tuck in plenty of filling and still wrap it snugly
- Vanilla Greek yogurt: Creamy and slightly tangy choose a thick Greek style for the best non-drippy results
- Mixed berries: Look for plump ripe berries avoid mushy or bruised fruit for bright flavor and texture
- Banana: Go for just-ripe bananas firmer slices hold up inside the wrap
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal: That iconic crunch and cinnamon sugar flavor brings the fun choose the freshest box you can find
- Honey or maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness drizzle lightly for sticky-sweet bites use real maple syrup if available
- Mini chocolate chips: A little indulgence for chocolate lovers totally optional but highly recommended for kids or sweet tooth cravings
Instructions
- Prepare Your Work Area:
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface like a large cutting board to give you room to assemble without making a mess
- Spread the Yogurt:
- Using a spoon or spatula spread one quarter cup of vanilla Greek yogurt evenly over each tortilla leave a half inch border to help with tidy wrapping and prevent spills
- Layer Fruit:
- Arrange a mix of fresh berries and banana slices down the very center of each tortilla try to keep fruit in a line so every bite catches every flavor
- Add Crunch:
- Sprinkle one quarter cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal down the middle over the fruit use a gentle hand to avoid crushing the cereal pieces
- Drizzle and Sprinkle:
- Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the filling and for those who love chocolate scatter a few mini chocolate chips from edge to edge
- Wrap It Up:
- Fold in the left and right sides of each tortilla just slightly then roll up tightly from the bottom like a burrito so you fully enclose the filling
- Slice and Serve:
- If you prefer use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half on the bias serve immediately so the cereal keeps its signature crunch
Save This recipe is my go-to whenever I want everyone to sit down together on a weekend morning. The way the cereal stays crisp surrounded by creamy yogurt brings out smiles from adults and kids alike in my house.
Storage Tips
While these taste best freshly made you can prep and wrap them a couple of hours ahead just keep them chilled and consider adding the cereal just before serving to preserve the crunch. Stored longer the tortillas may soften and the cereal loses crispness but flavor will still be great.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap in plant-based yogurt for a totally dairy free treat. Use regular plain yogurt and add a dash of vanilla yourself for less sugar. Try granola or another favorite cereal if you have it on hand. Use any mix of berries or even diced peaches in summer for a seasonal switch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps halved on a platter for a brunch spread with extra fruit alongside. For little ones cut into bite-sized pinwheels. Pair with smoothies coffee or cold milk for an all-in breakfast.
Cultural and Seasonal Context
Breakfast wraps like these take inspiration from American breakfast burritos with an added sweet twist. Swapping the filling based on season makes this a year-round favorite think stone fruit in late summer crisp apples or pears with a pinch of cinnamon in fall even kiwi or pineapple for a tropical touch.
Save Seasonal Adaptations: Use diced peaches and blueberries in summer for a juicy sweet wrap. Try pears and a sprinkle of cinnamon in fall for cozy autumn vibes. Toss in pomegranate seeds and clementine in winter for a citrusy pop. Success Stories: Honestly these are the first thing my nephew asked how to make on his own. Now he whips them up for weekend sleepovers and even packs them for road trips. Freezer Meal Conversion: You can prepare the wraps except for the cereal then freeze tightly wrapped in plastic. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Add the cereal before eating to retain the crunch.
