3. Meanwhile, sift flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon, and salt in separate bowl; set aside
4. Stir eggs, oil, and yogurt into bran mixture; add in flour mixture with rubber spatula until a few lumps remain, then gently fold in blueberries

Tip: If blueberries aren't in season, you can certainly use frozen berries. Or, try using rehydrated Shiloh Farms Organic Wild Blueberries. Just cover 1 part fruit with 2 parts water (or fruit juice) and set for 2-3 hours in refrigerator. Drain excess liquid and proceed with recipe.
