Fruity Pebble Breakfast Bread
I’m not gonna lie, folks: buying the ingredients for this recipe felt kind of weird. I mean, I’ve always been all about homemade breakfasts. I’ve mastered breakfast sliders and smoothie bowls. I make big batches of breakfast quesadillas and freeze them for a quick heat-and-eat meal. Even on days we have to grab and go, I’ll throw together a healthy breakfast box. So getting that box of Fruity Pebbles off the supermarket shelf was a new experience.
But honestly, I had no choice. Because once I knew there was such a thing as Fruity Pebble Breakfast Bread, how could I not try it?
So I got that box home, and I started mixing ingredients. I whipped up a simple batter from flour, sugar, oil, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt, and then folded two cups of the Fruity Pebbles right into it. As I poured it into my loaf pan, I was wondering to myself, “Can this possibly work?”
News flash: It did! The cereal softened in the batter as it baked, so it had a crunchy top and a moist, sweet inside that melts in your mouth. Topped with a simple cream cheese icing, it was kind of like a lighter version of fruitcake. It’s delicious fresh out of the oven, and any that’s left over makes a great addition to the grab-and-go breakfast repertoire.

Can you make this with any other kind of cereal?
Any sweet, crunchy cereal should give you pretty much the same texture. You could replace the Fruity Pebbles with Cocoa Pebbles for a chocolate bread, or Honeycomb for a sweet honey bread. Feel free to experiment!
I prefer savory breakfasts instead of sweet ones. Do you have a breakfast bread like that?
Why, yes! Check out my Savory Sausage Cheese Breakfast Bread loaded with meat, eggs, cheese, onion, and just a wee dash of hot sauce.

Can you substitute anything to make it more healthy??
Can you use something other than greek yogurt?
I can’t say for sure Tara, as I have only made the recipe as written.
This looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for including the nutritional facts. Do you happen to have an idea of what the serving size is?
Hi Chassidy. You are going to want to divide the bread into slices.
Great bread! Some have asked how to make this healthier. Well you can substitute unsweetened apple sauce for the eggs (I substituted for one egg). And you can use 3/4 cup butter milk instead of the yogurt. And definitely cut back the sugar. I used 3/8ths cup of sugar as the cereal is sweet already. It came out fantastic! Just the right amount of sweetness, nice and moist with a good rise. I’ll probably make this again!
