It elevates Raisin Bran to a higher level and brings it closer to Honey Bunches of Oats. From both texture and taste standpoints, it was dramatically improved for me. With the release of Kellogg\u2019s Raisin Bran Toasted Oats &#038; Honey, I wondered if it would be in the same vein.<\/p>\n<p>The box claims that the cereal consists of \u201cDelicious raisins &#038; toasted bran flakes sprinkled with hearty oats and honey.\u201d Based on the box\u2019s image, I knew to not expect the same crunch levels of Raisin Bran Crunch. It appeared to have single oats sprinkled on the flakes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Kelloggs-Raisin-Bran-Toasted-Oats-Honey-Cereal-Dry.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Raisin Bran Toasted Oats  Honey Cereal Dry\" title=\"Kellogg's Raisin Bran Toasted Oats &#038; Honey Cereal Dry.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Upon pouring the cereal, I noticed there were even less oats than the box had led me to believe. There were tiny flecks of oats clinging to the flakes. It was difficult to even distinguish them as being oats.<\/p>\n<p>I tried the cereal dry and it tasted how I expected based on the aesthetics. The bran flakes are slightly crunchier than usual, with a faint oat flavor. The honey is more noticeable and imparts a gentle sweetness on the flakes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Kelloggs-Raisin-Bran-Toasted-Oats-Honey-Cereal-Spoon.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Raisin Bran Toasted Oats  Honey Cereal Spoon\" title=\"Kellogg's Raisin Bran Toasted Oats &#038; Honey Cereal Spoon.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adding milk allowed the cereal to come together. The honey flavor was significantly more prevalent and each bite was sweeter than those of traditional Raisin Bran. It did not taste like there was actual honey drizzled on the flakes, but it was distinctive enough to know what they were going for. The oats\u2019 flavor remained understated, but they showcased an important feature in milk: they helped the flakes stay crunchy for much longer. This is definitely appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Kelloggs-Raisin-Bran-Toasted-Oats-Honey-Cereal-Back.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Raisin Bran Toasted Oats  Honey Cereal Back\" title=\"Kellogg's Raisin Bran Toasted Oats &#038; Honey Cereal Back.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the back of the box, there is a random image of a package of Raisin Bran Crunch. I am not sure why it is there, but it feels like Kellogg\u2019s is taunting me. \u201cWe know this is what you really wanted,\u201d it seems to say.<\/p>\n<p>While not a radical departure from traditional Raisin Bran, this cereal is an upgrade on the tried-and-true formula. Given the choice, I would pick Kellogg\u2019s Raisin Bran Toasted Oats &#038; Honey over the original, without hesitation.
