Blueberry Oat Bran

rebeccaa2's Note:

The juice from the thawed frozen blueberries makes such a lovely sauce for oatmeal, oat bran or plain yogurt!

Why are there so few recipes for oat bran on here?? ... I was glad to find this one. I added Splenda because the blueberries didn't add as much sweetness as I expected. I microwaved the berries for about half a minute, which was plenty. The taste was good -- the directions are a little confusing, though, because although the recipe is "Blueberry Oat Bran," the ingredients seem to call for oats. Overall, though, a nice recipe. Thanks for posting!

My second time I cooked the berries with the oat bran and it turned out great. Thanks for posting, Roxygirl

This is my favorite oat bran dish. I eat it almost every day. I like to add cinnamon and Splenda.
