Cornflake Cookie

I've always loved cereals in general. But rarely do I pick up the plain ole cornflake from the shelf. It's usually either chocolate or the real colorful ones! I really don't know if it's just me or does the kiddie marketing rub off on adults too- or maybe it's just me, and how I think- a bit (or a lot) like a child still. Oh well. Whatever makes us happy right? =)

But when I saw this somewhere on pinterest, I immediately headed for the cereal aisle and grabbed the biggest box of cornflakes there is. And after doing this- I realized that these plain ole things are yummy and a lot healthier than the sugar and coloring-packed stuff I used to eat. I now enjoy a bowl of low-fat milk, cornflakes, a bit of oats and sliced bananas for breakfast everyday :)

And snack on these glorious crunchy things!

My recipe after the jump!
