B-B-B Day

Blueberry Bran Baking Day. Since I had about two cups of frozen blueberries left over in the freezer I had an impulse to use up my cereal that was getting short of shelf life. I was feeling creative and, thank goodness, the results were wonderful. (I made changes to to the original recipe!)

Hot and buttered and....WOW!

I used one cup of sour cream instead of one cup of milk.

I used almost 2 cups of All Bran Original cereal

I used Crisco for shortening

I added 1/2 tsp. lemon flavoring.

After all was well mixed, I then added the blueberries in their frozen state.

I used two different size muffin pans and lined with paper cups.
