Notes to the recipe I justed posted from another bulletin board:

Which might bring the recipe up to 10 grains!!

NOTES :
-originally called for 10 grain cereal. Yum, yum! Be sure to let the cereal soak for a good 10-20 minutes so that the grains aren't too crunchy. Not too sweet but still breakfast-like.
-can reduce the butter to between 4 and 5 tablespoons safely
-if don't have brown sugar, can use 1/3 cup white sugar instead
-for a more nutrious muffin, sub 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for all-purpose--use 1 tablespoon less of the whole wheat since it absorbs more liquid.

Yum, yum! Perfect between meal muffin. Not really sweet.
