Cornflakes Mixture is a quick crunchy snack made by roasting a blend of cornflakes, fried gram, peanuts and spices. Cornflakes Mixture is an instant snack that is relished for tea time and healthy compared to the packed junk foods.
I have tasted cornflakes mixture only few times…..Once I have tasted haldirams cornflakes mixture, I love the khatta meeta mixture variety too.Today morning I had a sudden thought why not try baking cornflakes mixture in oven…so that we can munch it guilt-free.Check madras mixture recipe if you are interested to try that.
Last time when I visited Sowmya she gave cornflakes sweet mixture , I loved the taste….But as hubby likes spicy mixture more I added very little sugar only this time….. You can even increase sugar quantity and enjoy it as sweet mixture.
This is a very easy snack that you can make for kids, its not deep fried too so healthy snack ready in minutes….that sound cool right?! Make your batch now 🙂

Hi sharmi,
I tried this today.i used dry corn flakes.maize poha is written in the pack.I had some problem with baking.at 350 Fahrenheit I tried to bake these but they were getting burnt after 5 min and bfore that time they are not fried properly.and also they do not look like deep fried ones.i then deep fried other things.yours look perfectly done.could you help me ?where did I go wrong?
SHARMILEE J
Did you use the dry cornflakes which is meant for frying then that should work fine…but again check ur oven settings n timing as I always say each oven is different.
