Cereal is made of grains like wheat, oats, rice or corn, and is often served in the form of flakes (just like Honey Bunches of Oats® cereal!), loops or puffs. Granola is made of rolled oats, nuts and seeds, and is baked to give it that extra crunchy texture. Both cereal and granola make a delicious part of your breakfast, whether you’re enjoying by the handful or paired with your favorite type of milk by the bowl!
