'Cornflakes' is an English loanword. It is made up of 'corn' (Mais) and 'flakes' (Flocken). So the word literally describes 'Maisflocken' (corn flakes).
Cornflakes werden aus Maisgrieß hergestellt.
Cornflakes are made from cornmeal.
The word 'Cornflakes' (cornflakes) is used in German almost exclusively in the plural. People say 'den Cornflakes' (the cornflakes, plural) and not 'dem Cornflake' (the cornflake, singular).

My cornflakes are already gone again.
The combination 'Cornflakes mit Milch essen' (to eat cornflakes with milk) is very typical. People also often speak of 'einer Schüssel' (a bowl) or 'einer Packung Cornflakes' (a box/package of cornflakes).
Ich esse meine Cornflakes am liebsten mit frischen Früchten.
I like eating my cornflakes best with fresh fruit.
muesli
'das Müsli' and 'die Cornflakes' are often eaten for breakfast with milk or yogurt. The difference lies in what they are made of. Müsli is a mixture, for example of cereal flakes, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Cornflakes are toasted flakes made from corn and are usually a single breakfast product. Learners may confuse the words because both are eaten in a bowl with milk. If you mean a mixed breakfast food, 'Müsli' fits. If you mean the crunchy corn flakes, 'Cornflakes' fits.
