    these are great! I sometimes add a tbs of cocoa and some cinnamon for a different taste. I bake them in mini muffin pans. Almost forgot! You can used wheat bran instead of cereal. - 6/11/11

    Yummy! I made these and added 2 tablespoons Splenda Brown sugar blend for a little extra sweetening. Just enough without leaving an aftertaste. Thank you for sharing this great recipe! - 9/30/07

    I made these with an oat and wheat bran mix and soy milk soured with a bit of lemon juice as I am lactose intolerant. They were moist and flavoursome; I like the molasses in them. - 9/19/11

    These were good. I added a 2 packets of splenda to make them a little sweeter. You can use honey or dark corn syrup instead of molasses. - 9/18/11

    Why the molasses? Molasses comes from sugar cane & burnt sugar. - 4/24/11
