Grape-Nuts Flake Muffins

Submitted by smoke alarm jr

"I love the flavor of Grape Nut Flakes and I have found a few of my favorite recipes with this cereal off of the Kraft website. I forget about the low fat cooking when these come straight out of the oven -the ole butter gets smeared on! =) These are also perfect for those folks looking for low sugar muffins."

Love this recipe although didn't have the exact ingredients so had to change it a little. Had grape nuts so soaked them in the milk before adding to the dry mixture. didn't have brown sugar so used coconut sugar instead. Did use raisins and wanted to add walnuts too but forgot. This is perfect with a cup of coffee and I am sure it would be perfect with tea, too. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting this recipe. I remembered this recipe from 10 years ago when they printed it on the box. These still taste as good!
