Best bran muffin recipe; and I really mean the best! Made with bran cereal, melted butter, Greek yogurt, and wheat germ. So good, yet so healthy!<\/em><\/p>\n

$\"Healthy$ <\/p>\n

It’s time for another round of me gushing about how much I love someone on the internet. Aren’t you glad we do this?<\/p>\n

If you haven’t heard of Heidi Swanson from 101 Cookbooks<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, I am here to tell you everything. Her food is so very important to me. I discovered her recipes when I moved to California, and have been cooking weekly from her books ever since.<\/p>\n

Heidi taught me what refined, simple, local cooking really is. In fact, I hold Heidi on the same level as Alice Waters–without her, the food scene in our country wouldn’t be the same. Heidi is a sort of idol to me. And not just because of this best bran muffin recipe.<\/p>\n

Her food is 100% vegetarian; you should know this. The thing about most vegetarian recipes is that something is noticeably missing on the plate. But, not with Heidi’s recipes; the meat is never missed. A vegetable or whole grain is the star of the dish, no apologies needed.<\/p>\n

While her website is a gem, her books are old standbys in my kitchen. We cook out of them weekly. Her Otsu recipe from her book Super Natural Cooking<\/span><\/a><\/strong> is almost a weekly occurrence in our house. Her whole grain pancakes from Super Natural Everyday<\/span><\/a><\/strong> are always tripled and stacked in the freezer for quick weekday breakfasts. The Saag Paneer recipe in Near and Far<\/span><\/a><\/strong> was the first thing I made from the book, and have been making it ever since. She makes good-for-you food taste incredible.<\/p>\n

Onto the best bran muffin recipe:<\/h2>\n
Today, I want to talk about her best bran muffin recipe. Her bran muffins have found a home in my Mom’s Southern kitchen, which says a lot. Bran muffins can be boring, dense and dry. Heidi’s are not; they have incredible soft texture and an addicting taste.<\/p>\n
If you try them, I know they will find a permanent place in your recipe folder, and Heidi will soon become your go-to girl for healthy, inspiring recipes. In fact, when people ask me how I stay thin while baking and eating desserts all the time, I think the answer is that I cook Heidi’s recipes. She is the yin to my yang; the coconut-kale salad to my mini chocolate eclair<\/span><\/a>; the satisfying vegetarian grain salad to my mini chocolate cake<\/span><\/a> for dessert. She’s kinda my everything. Love that chick!<\/p>\n
