           Serve More Complete Meals With Kellogg’s All-Bran

Perhaps the meals you serve are “bulk-minus” meals. Kellogg’s All-Bran
is the “bulk-plus” food so necessary in the well-balanced diet. Serve as
a cereal, combined with other cereals, or use it as an ingredient in
many tempting and economical dishes. ★ All the recipes in this helpful
folder have been triple tested in our Cottage Kitchen so that you may
get the fullest enjoyment from the use of All-Bran in your home. ★
Laboratory tests show (1) that All-Bran is a safe and gentle food that
relieves constipation due to insufficient “bulk”; (2) that it does not
lose its effectiveness with continued use; (3) that it is a good source
of iron and Vitamin B. ★ Kellogg’s All-Bran is accepted by the American
Medical Association Committee on Foods as a natural laxative food for
normal people.

                            BEST FOR COOKING


Kellogg’s All-Bran is an ideal ingredient for cooking. It blends well
with other ingredients because it is fine and soft and adds a tempting
nut-sweet flavor to the recipe. Remember, too, that this best of all
brans increases the value of each dish because of its abundant “bulk.”


ALL-BRAN MUFFINS

  2 tablespoons shortening
  ¼ cup sugar
  1 egg (well beaten)
  1 cup sour milk
  1 cup Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN
  1 cup flour
  1 teaspoon baking powder
  ½ teaspoon soda
  ½ teaspoon salt

  Note: If sweet milk is used instead of sour milk, omit the ½ teaspoon
  of soda and use 3 teaspoons baking powder. Raisins or dates may be
  added if desired. A small slice of apple, sprinkled with cinnamon and
  sugar, placed on top the muffin batter before baking, makes a
  delicious variation of the recipe.

Cream the shortening and sugar, add egg and sour milk. Add ALL-BRAN and
let soak until most of the moisture is taken up. Sift flour with baking
powder, soda and salt and add to first mixture, stirring only until
flour disappears. Fill greased muffin tins two-thirds full and bake in a
moderate oven (400° F.) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Yield: 8 large or 12 small muffins.

                            BEST AS A CEREAL


The “bulk” content of Kellogg’s All-Bran is higher than that of any
other common food. It definitely corrects the “bulk-minus” meal—the most
frequent cause of constipation.

When common constipation due to “bulk-minus” meals does occur, your
family begins to feel under par—not exactly sick, but certainly not
well. Avoid this condition by serving All-Bran regularly for regularity.

Try All-Bran as a cereal with milk or cream—two tablespoons daily will
give you the “bulk-plus” meals so necessary in the well-balanced diet.
In chronic cases, with each meal. All-Bran is much more effective than
part-bran products. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle
Creek, Michigan.
