We love these grapenuts. You can make them as sweet as you want. I cut the sugar down a bit cause my husband likes them less sweet. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to it for a little different taste.

The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it's not quite as crunch as the store bought, but I do think it tastes better. When I made this I only used 1 1/2 c sugar, added some molasses (maybe why it wasn't as crunchy?) and stevia. It was very sweet and I'm pretty sure I didn't over substitute sweeteners. I would recommend only putting this in two 9 x 13 pans to bake. Some of mine was spread very thin and baked up crispy (some even burnt) and when I went to blend it up it easily turned to powder. The parts that were thicker and "softer" easily blended into grape nut size pieces.

I wish I knew if I did something wrong, as I did not care for this. There was no flavor. Felt like I was eating little pieces of ground up cardboard.

Great flavor. Easy to make. I wouldn't mind trying it with less sugar just to see how it turned out. I mentioned this to my teenage son and he said, "No way! It's great just the way it is." Thanks for the recipe!

i had some difficulty with this one the first time and wish i could withhold a rating until i could make it again but still post the review for this time. I can tell that this has the potential to be absolutely fantastic. This time it's only okay because it's mostly burned. Even so, it still tastes better than the high fiber cereal I usually buy from the store (most of them taste like cardboard or wood chips). I modified the recipe, So i'm not sure if my modifications are what messed it up, or if my oven was acting up temperature-wise or what. I used a mixture of soy flour, whole wheat pastry flour, oat bran and wheat germ in place of the flour, used milk with vinegar added instead of buttermilk, and used 7/8 cup of brown sugar, 1/8 cup of maple syrup and 1/2 cup of natural applesauce in place of the sugar. I also added a few grates of nutmeg. I wasn't sure how to tell when the first section was "done". Should it be cracker consistency or flatbread consistency before you put it in the food processor? What do you do when you don't have easy access to a food processor? This time I tried breaking it up and then crushing it with a rolling pin, but that didn't quite work because some of it was pulverized to dust and some of the pieces stayed large. Definitely will try this again as it very apparently has incredible potential if i can just figure out when it's done and how to process it correctly.

I love this! I added an assortment of dried fruits, coconut, and nuts during the last 20 minutes or so of cooking. Great as a cereal, on top of yogurt, as a snack....it's soooo natural!

This has an awesome flavor, it is well worth the effort, puts Grape Nuts to shame.
