Get their birthday off to a tasty start with gluten-free muesli. This birthday breakfast will need to be put together the night before.

Then, mix some honey and buttery baking spread and drizzle over your cereal mixture.
Bake the muesli for 15 to 18 minutes, and stir halfway through. Once cooled, pop the muesli in a serving bowl with low fat yoghurt and a good topping of fresh fruits.
Why should Nestlé Cereals be used as an ingredient?
We have been on a journey for the past 18 years to make sure our cereal recipes make breakfast even better. That means, we have worked on increasing their whole grain and fibre, whilst making sure to reduce their sugar and salt content.
All Nestlé cereals which carry a Green banner have whole grain as the number one ingredient. Many Nestlé breakfast cereals are fortified with 5 vitamins and 2 minerals, including riboflavin, niacin, B6, folic acid, pantothenic acid, iron , calcium and vitamin D. Combining your favourite breakfast cereal with different toppings and fruit, or using them in tasty breakfast recipes is a great way to add some excitement to your breakfast.
Breakfast is always a fun way to kick off any birthday celebration, which is why we wanted to give you the ultimate breakfast ideas for birthdays to make all celebrations that extra bit special! What better way to say ‘Happy Birthday’ than with some of our delicious breakfast recipe ideas, that all incorporate our tasty cereals? We can’t think of a better way to do that!
