Cracklin’ Oat Bran is an old classic deal. But many of today’s hip and luxurious young people are usually declined by name. For me it was such an unusual accident. I’m quite a fan of cereal and I like to think I enjoy my fair share of varieties, but here, in part because of the name, I’ve never gotten around to trying one. However, Matt was telling me this was probably his favorite cereal and general defense stuff. I can certainly say that I was a fool when I tried it. STUPID, I say.
Cracklin’ Oat Bran is not some bag of dry, dusty flakes as one might imagine. Oatmeal cereal based on rows with Cheerios and Honey Bunches Oatmeal, the cereal consists of condensed oats in the shape of “no square”, flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg. When I say condensed, I don’t mean condensed, light and airy Cheerios. This stuff is dense. Each bite of Cracklin’ Oat Bran is like three bites of Cheerios. It’s easily the most filling cereal I’ve ever eaten, probably in part because of its dietary fiber content. One bowl will almost certainly fill you up at a time. It has a delightfully full bite, tasting equal parts nutty, oat, and sweet with a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar. It’s almost tastier than the sugary cereal I used to eat as a child.
Since Cracklin’ Oat Bran is so thick, it really does battle against the milk. It takes time for the sacrificial sac, if it does at all. If mixed with protein, the cereal will be soft on the outside with a satisfying crunch on the inside. It also turns brown milk with brown sugar and cinnamon goodness. If the milk is in soy, it’s almost even better with the risk it sounds like. hippy However, there are a few downfalls to Cracklin’ Oat Bran that prevent it from being the greatest cereal of all time.
First, although cereal is a source of high-purity fiber, it still has some saturated fat. it uses palm oil. For the calorie conscious, that is the proverbial nail in the coffin. Another thing is the price tag, which is more than $5 with tax. I guess oats don’t help as much as corn, or something. But these two particulars are important from person to person. Either way, Cracklin’ Oat Bran is my new favorite cereal, and it’s well worth a try. If you have kids, your best bet is to tell them anonymously. Maybe he’ll try “Happy Time Cereal” or “Bieber-bits.”
