Gingerbread
This is gingerbread just as you remember it − moist, sweet, and aromatic with the warm, rich scents of molasses, cinnamon and ginger. But our version improves on your old favorite, with a healthful boost of fiber from All-Bran® cereal. Serve it in the autumn, warm from the oven, topped with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
