Blueberry Bran Muffins

I recently found myself in the possession of a few boxes of Kellogg's All-Bran cereal.  After tasting the cereal, no one was a fan or willing to eat anymore.  So I started googling how to use the cereal in other ways.  I came across a recipe for Bran Muffins from King Arthur Flour.  Their recipe uses raisins.  I am not a fan of raisins in baked goods so I decided to use some blueberries.  They turned out excellent!  They were moist and light.  It won't be too difficult to use up all the bran cereal we have now!  Do you have any creative ways to use up All-Bran cereal?  Please share in the comments below.

Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler

The August Canadian Living cover recipe is a Blueberry Cornmeal Cobbler.  I've never made or even eaten a cobbler before.  I usually don't eat desserts where the main ingredient is berries.  I prefer cakes and cookies. Recently my sister-in-law made a berry crisp which I really enjoyed so I was looking forward to trying out this cobbler recipe.

Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries and Bananas

I am not a fan of oatmeal.  But I really do want to like it.  The thought of a warm bowl of oatmeal on a cold winter morning seems really appealing but honestly I have never liked those oatmeal packets.  They are lacking in flavor and a mushy bowl of oatmeal really is not appetizing for me.  But after making this baked oatmeal my thoughts have completely changed.  If you are not an oatmeal fan this is the dish to change your mind!  My only complaint is that it bakes for 35 minutes and rests for an additional 10 minutes which is too long for me to wait in the morning.  I don't like waiting for breakfast but this is really worth the wait!  I made some minor changes to the original recipe.  I replaced the butter with oil and reduced the quantity.  I omitted the nuts and reduced the amount of blueberries.  You can change up the fruit in this to whatever you think will taste good.  I've also made it with strawberries and bananas.  Next I'm going to try it with apples!

Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Cake

I think this blog is making me fat....I keep making desserts over and over to get them right and then when I finally do I realize after it's all gone I didn't get a decent picture so I make it again.  This is an example of one of those recipes.  I believe I've made this cake at least 4 times.  I started with a recipe from Smitten Kitchen and made some changes.  This cake is super quick to make and you can experiment with different berries as well.  This makes a thin cake and is absolutely delicious.  You should definitely give it a try.  It's quick to make and bakes in 20 minutes!
