What to make with cornflakes?

Cornflakes are versatile beyond breakfast. Crush them for a crispy coating on chicken or fish, or mix them with chocolate or peanut butter for no-bake cookies and bars.

They also make excellent toppings for casseroles and baked desserts, adding texture and flavor.

Are cornflakes gluten free?

Corn is naturally gluten-free, but not all cornflakes are safe for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Many brands use malt flavoring from barley, which contains gluten.

Check for a gluten-free label or review the ingredients to ensure suitability for a gluten-free diet.

What can I do with stale corn flakes?

Stale corn flakes can be creatively repurposed. Crushed, they make excellent breading for chicken or fish, adding crunch when baked or fried.

They also work as a casserole topping for extra flavor and texture. Incorporate them into granola bars or cookies for a delightful twist.
