If like me, you struggle to perform even the simplest of tasks before a gallon of coffee has been consumed, breakfast time with kids can be stressful!
It’s often the one meal of the day that has to be prepared in double quick time in order to make sure everyone is out the door for pre-school/nursery/school and/or work and so it’s easy for us to fall back on the same old trusty breakfast staples.

Is oat bran different than oat flour? I use oat bran to make blueberry muffins and I can’t help but wonder if I can use oat flour instead? Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. 5.0 rating
Ciara Attwell says
Yes oat bran is different to oat flour. It tends to me more coarse. But you can use both in the muffins. You might just have to adjust how much liquid you put in.
