My husband bought Grape Nuts, but we don't really eat it as a cereal. I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas for using it up. It's a healthy food, but I need some ideas about how to use it.

    Applesauce + cinnamon + Grape Nuts. Warm or cold. I consider it a "dessert".

    These are yummy muffins, and you can keep the batter in the refrigerator for a month and just bake what you want. I don't know the calorie count, would have to figure it out. You could add raisins.

    Why, yes I do!!!

    Cat Poop Cookies

    Ingredients
    1/2 cup honey
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup butter
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)
    Directions
    1.Microwave honey on high until bubbly (about 1 minute). Stir in the margarine. Add the egg and mix well. Stir in the flour, cocoa and vanilla. Mix well and chill dough for several hours in the refrigerator.
    2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    3.Roll chunks of the chilled dough into cylindrical shapes in order to resemble cat poop. Roll cookies in cereal and place on ungreased baking sheet.
    4.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve cookies in a new litter box on a bed of malted barley cereal. Use a new litter scoop to remove cookies.

    Please enjoy... lol

    for the record, I've made these before for kids in the youth group in my old church (recipe was a tad different, but same idea) - high 'gross' factor, but pretty good, all in all!

    Hungry-girl.com uses grape nuts quite a bit for things. This recipe uses it for the crust of a low-calorie cheesecake that is quite good. http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1575
