Grape Nuts Muffins are a tasty muffin with a delicious crunch!

Crunchy Grape Nuts Muffins from dineanddish.net

I opened my pantry this past week to find five 3/4 eaten boxes of cereal and a kitchen full of kids saying we had nothing to eat.

I usually make a big breakfast for my kids before school, but this particular morning I was running behind and told my kids to just grab some cereal. Every single one of them came back to me saying “but there isn’t any cereal…we have nothing to eat!”. So, apparently FIVE boxes of cereal with cereal STILL IN THEM doesn’t count as food? Am I the only house this happens in? Seriously, what is wrong with the last 1/4 box of cereal? Can someone explain that to me? It never fails with cereal and bread, no one wants to eat the last bit left. I don’t get it.

I made cereal muffins and shared the recipe on Dine & Dish a zillion years ago. Apparently, after I read through that post, I realized my kids have the same commitment issues I’ve always had. It’s true… we get bored and want something new after having the same old same old time after time.

Because I often have extra un-eaten cereal, I get the opportunity to become creative with how to use it all up. From Corn Flake Chicken to Raisin Bran Cookies, the recipe options for leftover cereal are abundant.

Grape Nuts Cereal

This week, I was faced with a box of Grape Nuts Cereal with 1/4 of the box left. We love Grape Nuts on yogurt (yes, my husband and I are 100 years old), but I thought it’d be fun to make a muffin with a crunch with the remaining Grape Nuts Cereal.

The result of my experimentation is a moist, sweet muffin with a crunch. The flavorful batter combined with the crunch of the cereal makes the perfect muffin. It really does! I know you don’t believe me because, let’s face it… It’s Grape Nuts, but Grape Nuts are the bomb. I promise!

If you have some leftover Grape Nuts you aren’t quite sure what to do with, I hope you’ll give this muffin recipe a try! A muffin with a crunch is a good muffin, indeed.

    I haven’t been by in a while, but I do love my Grape Nuts! I’m anxious to try this recipe. I’m not a yogurt fan however I think I should risk it for this one. Thank you!

      Chances are you won’t taste the yogurt. It will add to the moisture and allows the baker to use less oil. Enjoy!

    I definitely have to make this because I love grape nuts! I think I ate them everyday through college, I know I’m weird. I remember growing up my mom would say the same thing about the cereal problem!

    I’m going to have to try these muffins – your recipe sounds better than the Grape-Nuts bread recipes I’ve tried.

    Thought you might be interested in this recipe for Grape-Nuts bread that is supposed to be the original —

    Could sour cream be substituted for the yogurt? Not because I don’t like yogurt, but I think I want to make these tomorrow morning and I don’t have any. Thanks.

      Hi Kathy! I think it could be…it should work as a good substitute for the fat. Applesauce would maybe work as well?

    Stephen loves Grape Nuts, but I’ve never been a fan of them. Maybe your muffins are just what I need to motivate me to give them another go. 😉

    Wondering if you could use sour cream instead of yogurt.

      Hi Sterling –
      I think you definitely could. It’s just used as a substitute for fat so I imagine it’d be about the same! Let me know if you try it if it works out. Thanks!

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.

I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
