For a nuttier flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) to the flour mixture. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of brown sugar. Ensure the baked patty is completely cool before grinding to achieve the best crumb texture. Stirring the crumbs frequently during the second bake is crucial to prevent burning and ensure even drying. Store your homemade Grape Nuts in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.

Apr 25, 2025Mine turned out a little too hard. I think I over-baked them the second time around. Will try reducing the baking time next time.
