I am new to LC baking and have come across receipies that call for Wheat Bran and Oat bran. I can't seem to find these anywhere. Are they a flour and would be in the baking area or are they a cereal??? If I purchased the cereal "All Bran" and ground it up, would it work the same?

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I have found them in the cereal isle by the hot cereals and oatmeal. Usually in a jar.

The same as wheat germ?

You can also find them in bulk or packages in natural foods stores.

______The same as wheat germ?___________-

No, the bran is a different part of the wheat kernel.

Sorry to be such a pain but I have looked EVERYWHERE for this stuff!

I did come across "Oat Bran" in a box in the cereal aisle near the oatmeal. I needed the wheat bran for a muffin receipe....does anyone think that the oat bran that I found would work as a substitute???

Thanks!

Jaimie, I buy Quaker Wheat Bran from my little hole-in-the-wall grocery store. It's usually right beside the oat bran in the cereal aisle, so if it's not there, they probably don't sell it. They'd probably order it for you if you asked...
