10. Barbara’s Puffins Cinnamon Cereal – 6g of Total Sugar

This next entry of cinnamon cereal that I discovered actually has half the sugar content of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Yes – half. As in 6g of sugar per serving.

What’s the name of this cinnamon cereal? It is Barbara’s Puffins Cinnamon Cereal.

Now, full disclosure, this cereal isn’t exactly the same as Cinnamon Toast Crunch (it’s a little ‘puffier’ than Cinnamon Toast Crunch – I mean the clue is in the name). But this cereal is square-shaped and cinnamon flavored so in my opinion is a good enough alternative. Especially at 6g of sugar.
