Tasty and good! Easy to put together. I used whole wheat flour, as I almost always do. The Grape Nuts almost disappeared; they just left a subtle texture which was very pleasant. With the Grape Nuts, total calories would be about 206 per muffin. Next time I will bake these at 375°F as the muffins were a little overdone after 20 minutes at 400°F. Also, these must be eaten fresh - well-wrapped leftovers for next days' breakfast were quite dry - I think the Grape Nuts continue to suck moisture out of the rest of the muffin.
