Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch Cereal
By: | Feb 22, 2009
I associate Cinnabon with the sinfully delicious and totally fat and calorie laden deserts that can be found in numerous malls. Therefore when I saw Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch Cereal at my local grocery store, I was excited and turned off all at the same time! After glancing at the nutritional panel, I just knew that I had to share my find with Iateapie.net readers.
The nutritional information is almost unbelievable for a Cinnabon product. There are only 11 ingredients, with Whole Oat Flour, Whole Brown Rice Flour and Turbinado Brown Sugar as the first three. Makara Cinnamon, a delicacy made only by Cinnabon, also makes a bold statement! Each 1 cup serving provides 150 calories, 1.5 grams of fat (3% of the daily value), no saturated fat or sodium, 3 grams of protein and 31 grams of carbohydrates which includes 3 grams of fiber (11% of the DV) and 10 grams of sugar. Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch Cereal also contains 20 grams of whole grain per serving.
After looking at the nutrition facts, I decided to eat this as a snack/ dessert instead of cereal with milk, so I poured some dry cereal into a bowl and was surprised to see that the cereal closely resembled the picture on the box! Each piece of Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch flaunts a light honey sugar coating over an airy, yet compact wheat swirl. The first bite was not quite what I was expecting. I have always imagined Cinnabon to produce overly sweet treats, which this was not. Instead, it possessed a mildly sweet and buttery cinnamon flavor. The taste exhibits a slight resemblance to an actual cinnamon roll, but on a much lower scale.
All in all, this cereal is an appealing, crunchy and satisfying indulgence. The $3.79 that I spent on this cereal (each box has 9 servings) is more than I am usually willing to pay, but intrigue got the best of me! If this cereal ever goes on sale, I would buy it again for a subtle treat. This cereal is living proof that you should not "judge a book by its cover."

I've been hearing about this cereal but have the hardest time finding it. Anyone have any luck?
@Beth - I've seen it at Walmart.
I've been eating this for the past year. It's great - I usually mix it with Kashi or something less sweet. It's all ove the place where I live - even at the Piggly Wiggly!
I think if you go to their website it will list the stores in your area that carry the cereal.
This might end up replacing my Reduced Sugar Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Ooh la la! I'd love to mix this with my Kashi GoLean!
Fresh n Easy has it on sale for $1.99
thanks for the store locations. i am going to look next time i go!
Impressive. I would have expected less from a fast food-esque chain like Cinnabon. I'll keep an eye out for it.
I'd have to agree that these are pretty good. =)
I haven't been seeing this product in stores lately! Anyone else?!
