2018 Recipe - April Ferre - from ASUCD Coffee House Cookbook, 2009.


"Sometimes food surprises you.  When I was an undergrad working in the Beaman Lab (so in reality the date on the recipe is really about 2003), someone brought in some bran muffins from the coffee house.  Initially, I wasn't going to have one because who likes bran muffins? Right?  But I was hungry.  And guess what?  These were fantastic!  Moist and fluffy and the dates gave them extra sweetness.  Fast forward many years and I was in the bookstore and saw that there was a Coffee House Cookbook, so I checked for this specific recipe.  And there it was!  It made my day." - April Ferre
