Thaw at room temperature, then reheat in microwave just before serving, if desired. Substitute: Prepare muffins as directed, substituting 2-1/4 cups Post Grape-Nuts Flakes for the 1 cup Grape-Nuts Cereal. Nutrition Bonus: Don't limit these low-fat muffins to breakfast. Enjoy them anytime of the day for a good source of iron from the fortified cereal.
