Mini Muffin Sandwiches

In a medium bowl combine 2 cups KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES cereal, milk, and dates. Let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Add eggs, applesauce, oil, and vanilla to cereal mixture. Beat well. Stir in flour mixture just until moistened. Spoon batter into forty 1 3/4-inch muffin cups greased or coated with cooking spray, filling each 3/4 full; sprinkle tops with finely crushed cereal.

Bake at 400F 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and tops spring back when touched. Cool muffins in pans on a wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool. Cut muffins in half; fill with assorted fillings (if desired). Assorted Fillings: Turkey-Apple: Apple butter, thinly sliced honey-roasted turkey, and thinly sliced apple. Choco-Berry: Chocolate hazelnut spread, banana slices, and strawberry slices. Curried Chicken: Chicken salad flavored with curry powder, mango chutney, and grapes.
