Homemade Item: CORN FLAKE CRUMBS



Do you use corn flake crumbs in your cooking? If not, then you totally should. They are delicious and add a unique texture to your food that you don’t get with bread crumbs. You can easily substitute corn flake crumbs for bread crumbs in a recipe.

You can certainly buy pre-manufactured corn flake crumbs, but why when making them from home is so easy and a heck of a lot cheaper.

Start with an 18 ounce box of corn flakes. Just buy the generic brand, no need to get fancy since you will just be adding them to a recipe. Plus the generic brand is about 2 dollars. Yea cheap!



Pull out your trusty food processor, or if you have a fancy blender that would work too.


Dump in the cornflakes. My food processor is small, so I have to work in batches.


Mix, mix, mix! You only need to blend/process for 5 to 7 seconds. If you blend less, your crumbs will be larger which is fine if you want large crumbs. If you blend more, your crumbs will be finer and start to turn into flour so be careful.


Look at these beauties!


They are going to help create some awesomely delicious recipes, such as




One 18 ounce box of flakes makes about 4 cups of crumbs. Store the crumbs in an air tight container in your pantry.
