Save Cinnamon Toast Crunch Breakfast Wraps bring a burst of color and fun to your morning routine. Imagine creamy yogurt, bursts of tangy fruit, and that iconic cereal crunch all swirled together inside a soft tortilla—no oven or stove required, and ready in ten minutes. This wrap is perfect for those busy mornings when you want a sweet, energizing start without fuss.
I started making these during the summertime when my kids craved something cheerful yet filling, and now they beg for them whenever strawberries are in season. I first made these one hectic morning before school, thinking it might be too simple—turns out the combination was a huge hit. These wraps are now our go-to when we want something both playful and nourishing.
Ingredients
- Flour tortillas: look for fresh, soft tortillas as they wrap best
- Vanilla Greek yogurt: choose a thick, creamy variety for richness and tang
- Mixed berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries bring color and antioxidants select ripe, vibrant fruits
- Banana: adds sweetness and creaminess pick a perfectly yellow banana for best texture
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal: delivers the signature crunch and cinnamon flavor opt for a fresh, unopened box
- Honey or maple syrup: use pure varieties for natural sweetness
- Mini chocolate chips: optional for a chocolatey twist choose a quality bittersweet or semisweet
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Lay each tortilla out flat on a clean and smooth surface This helps prevent tearing and makes assembly neater
- Spread the Yogurt:
- Using a spoon or spatula evenly distribute one quarter cup of vanilla Greek yogurt over each tortilla Leave about a half inch border to make rolling tidier and prevent the filling from squeezing out
- Add the Fruit:
- Arrange a generous stripe of mixed berries and banana slices down the center of each tortilla Spread the fruit so every bite is colorful and balanced
- Add Crunch Layer:
- Sprinkle about a quarter cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal over the fruit The cereal should cover the length of the fruit line for crunch in every bite
- Add Sweet Touches:
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the filling and scatter mini chocolate chips if you choose These bring a hint of sweetness and richness
- Roll the Wrap:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla to tuck in the filling then roll up tightly from the bottom to fully enclose the fruit and cereal The tighter the roll the neater the wrap holds
- Slice and Serve:
- Cut each wrap in half if desired Serve right away to enjoy maximum crunch from the cereal
Save My favorite part is watching little hands help layer in the fruits and scatter cereal. There was one morning I let my youngest pick the fruit mix and she added extra raspberries—it turned out so juicy and delicious we never skip raspberries now.
Storage Tips
For best results assemble only what you plan to serve. If you must prep ahead keep components separate and wrap just before eating. Leftovers become softer as the cereal absorbs moisture, so I recommend eating wraps within an hour.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free coconut or almond-based alternative. Use any kid-friendly cereal you love but Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the star for classic flavor. If you are out of honey or syrup, a fruit compote or seed butter can add both stickiness and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with scrambled eggs or a smoothie for a balanced meal. To make it extra festive for brunch slice wraps into thirds and arrange on a platter with extra berries. For lunchbox stacking tightly wrap in parchment for easy transport.
Cultural and Historical Context
The breakfast wrap trend started as a savory grab-and-go solution and transformed into sweet versions as cereals and yogurt became household staples. This recipe celebrates fun nostalgic flavors while giving a nod to modern convenience and freshness.
Seasonal Adaptations
Spring use fresh local strawberries and switch up the berries for whatever is ripe Summer peaches nectarines or cherries are delicious additions Fall sliced apples or pears with a dusting of extra cinnamon brings cozy autumn flavors
Success Stories
I once served these wraps for a kids’ sleepover breakfast and the kids had so much fun customizing their own. They piled theirs extra high with chocolate chips and fresh berries—no leftovers at all.
Freezer Meal Conversion
Because the cereal quickly softens, these wraps are not suited for freezing once assembled. If you wish to prep ahead freeze sliced fruit and keep yogurt cold then assemble everything just before serving for a nearly instant breakfast.
Save Serve these wraps for a quick breakfast or snack, sliced and enjoyed while the cereal is still crunchy. Your kids will ask for them again and again!
