Easy & delicious idea for a last minute breakfast potluck or holiday gift. It looks beautiful, too. I'm not sure where this recipe came from, but it could have originally been from a cereal box. Post Raisin Bran has the biggest flakes, which makes it look especially pretty for presentation, but any raisin bran cereal will do. =^..^=

    Add egg and 3/4 cup sugar, mixing well with a large spoon.

    Mix in the chopped walnuts, if desired.

    FOR THE TOPPING: Melt the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter or margarine in a small microwave-safe bowl. (I use my small PC Batter Bowl for this.) Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cereal and 1 Tablespoon sugar until well-blended. Sprinkle over batter.
  • 8
    Gently press topping and walnut halves into the batter.
  • 9
    Bake 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack, then remove bread from pan and cool completely...
