Mini Wheats are taking over........HELP!!!

[ScrappyDoo]

I bought a ton of Frosted Mini Wheats at the Lowes Foods Sale and now I'm sick of them. Anyone have a recipe using them? I hate for them to go stale.

My mom has a bread recipe where you use mini wheats......if you use the frosted ones, I guess it would be a kind of sweet bread......I can ask her for the recipe if you are interested.

Yes Yes and Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

OK...I got curious, and googled "recipes using mini wheats". There are several sites that have recipes using them!! Cookies, cereal bars, etc!!!

My mom used to make bran muffins with either all-bran cereal or the wheat biscuits (the big ones, not the mini). I don't have the recipe anymore, I just remember her making muffin batter and then soaking the cereal in milk before adding it to the dry ingredients. They were so delicious!

Oohh that's my favorite cereal! Of course my second fave is plain Grape Nuts with splenda on it, so I guess I'm a little weird. I now have 20 something boxes of Mini-Wheats in my pantry and I guarantee they won't last until the expiration date...

But I think I'll try some of those recipes anyhow!

I like them heated up in milk during the winter (not that it really gets cold here - but I don't eat them that way in 110 heat!). I kinda crush them up and make an oatmeal.

I love Mini Wheats too, that's why I bought so many. I think I just OD'd on them :-)

Have you looked at the cereal's website? Most manufacturers have a recipe section.

Sorry it took so long, I finally got the recipe from my mom.

It is a bread machine recipe (2 lb loaf)

1 1/3 C Water
1/4 C Oil
1/4 C Molasses
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/4 C bread flour
2 1/2 C whole wheat flour
1 1/4 C Mini-shredded wheat
4 t Wheat Gluten
4 t active dry yeast or 2 1/2 t quickrise yeast or 2 1/2 t bread machine yeast

Add ingredients as listed in bread pan
Use Whole Wheat Cycle

Hope that helps! You might want to cut down on the molasses since you are using the frosted mini wheats.
