The energy in the cereal was stored when the Sun shone on the corn crop and caused carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to be broken down by photosynthesis into carbon and oxygen, thus storing energy. That energy is recovered after you eat the cereal and your muscles then re-combine that carbon with fresh oxygen you take in from the air, and you breathe out carbon dioxide.
This can happen because carbon dioxide is in a lower energy state than the same amount of carbon and oxygen existing separately. Forming the carbon-oxygen bond releases energy.
