The issue that you have with this item is that the paddles controlled by the turn knobs have a tendency to crush the cereal a bit. This can leave some crumbs as a result in your cereal bowl. I have found that turning the knob to the right (like you should) and then back to the left only a small bit, repeating this rt then lft method does reduce the amount crumbled in the dispensing process. Also be aware that these are plastic units and cannot withstand a lot of severe handling, forcing the knobs, pushing down on the hoppers, and don't lose the stoppers at the bottom (they keep your cereal from getting stale).

Granola, yes. Special K? Maybe. They might get crushed in the process, but I don't see why they wouldn't work, just with much smaller flakes.

I guess you could but I would not because you will miss out the on the flavor. The recipe on the bag suggests toasting it for 3-6 minutes until the grain begin to pop before adding other ingredients. I have been eating a wide variety of grains but this is unlike any other as far as the taste and aroma. I absolutely love it! After trying it all other breakfast grains specially oatmeal taste bland. Also, the recipe suggest using one cup of Teff with three cups of water and may even need a little more water at the end. Enjoy.

Puffed Rice isn't crunchy like Rice Krispies--it's softer, like Puffed Wheat. It would probably work, but would be chewy or soft instead of crunchy.

I haven't tried this but I am reluctant to suggest it. I use a limited amount of oat fiber in my recipes and mix it with other flours.

Nope, haven't had issues with any cereal. I had both those in there and they were fine.

Smoothie is a great idea. I tried putting them into a "chocolate pudding." I liked it the first time, but the family didn't & have to admit it was a bit funky. I'd suggest including them in a home-baked healthy muffin, cookies, or hot cereal. Good Luck!

Yes, but I think you would need other "flours" as well. I use a combination of white rice flour, some bean flour, tapioca starch and potato starch.

I don't see how Rice Krispies or Captain Crunch would be a problem. We have used ours for corn flakes and cheerios with no problem. We have had ours for at least 2 yrs. and my husband uses it all the time, works great... he even refills it! :)

I don't think so. I got them because they are gluten free. They are a bit "grainy" they don't soften up much when cooked. I won't buy them again. I've had better. Perhaps they might cook better if used to bake cookies. I don't know.

You can use granulated sugar...look on utube for demo videos & ideas, so helpful!

I don't see why not. I gave it to my daughter when she started cereal until about 1 year old. Now, she is 18 months and I give her regular oatmeal with maple/brown sugar.

No. You can use any K-cup. There are many products on the market to choose from.

THANKS. two other customers replied. "i think" "i guess maybe" ..... I appreciate you relaying your personal experience. may I ask your thoughts or experience w/ dense batter like eggs for breakfast muffins or banana nut bread? THX again

You can. You need to add the sugar just before or after the first few kernels pop.

Yes, but beware of the sugar alcohols. If you are sensitive, these are not the muffins for you. I could not finish them and had to throw them out. That was a VERY expensive tryout. I liked the cinnamon ones better because they were not as dense. Hope this helps. Good luck.

No absolutely not. This stuff is gritty and needs to be diluted with other gluten type flours. I had great expectations being a diabetic and ordered this flour without knowing the properties. I kind of wish I would have known this but I use it sparingly in recipes.

You can, but those baked goods are more suited to soft wheat, instead of hard wheat. As soft wheat has lower gluten than hard. Especially the biscuits and pie crust.
