Pumpkin Muffies (Muffin Tops)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Do you know those pumpkin muffies from Panera? This recipe reminds me EXACTLY of those. Except these are gluten free, vegan and use the simplest ingredients you can find. You can scale them up or down in size depending on how Panera-y you want to make them, and they are a great snack for the fall season!

Pumpkin Muffies (Muffin Tops)

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – the top of the muffin is ELITE. So let’s not waste muffin bottoms, and let's just make pumpkin muffin tops, right? This gluten free and vegan recipe is so easy and will remind you of those oh-so-decadent Panera muffin tops!

Prep Time:10 minutes mins
Cook Time:15 minutes mins
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Keyword: baking, cookies, gluten free, muffin tops, muffins, vegan
Servings: 8 muffin tops

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats blended into oat flour 120g
  • ¾ cup pumpkin pureé 180g
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 3 sheets of graham crackers crushed

Instructions

  • In one bowl, mix together the oat flour, pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Use a wet hand to form them into little muffin top disks and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Top with graham cracker bits and pumpkin pie spice and bake at 350F for 12-14 min. And that’s it!

Notes

It’s good to note that in a recipe that uses oat flour and no butter, there will be very little (if any) spread. When forming your muffin tops, form them exactly how you’d like them to look when they come out of the oven!

Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craft Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craftsman & Wolves on the radar of everyone outside of SF, it’s finally time for an homage recipe! (mostly because I’ve been craving it for a year tbh…I am very behind)

This isn’t a recreation, but instead a vegetarian (the original has pork sausage), sinlge-serving, almost cheesy-tasting variation. I used cornmeal for a little more substance and density, more spices than I can count (they’re all worth it, I promise), and a 6-minute egg, which when enclosed in the batter, stays jammy even after baking 🥚

The full recipe for this single muffin is on the site, and I hope it might make it into your long weekend somewhere 💚 Happy Saturday everyone

SNACKS + CHEF! Today @ayesha_rare invited me int SNACKS + CHEF! 

Today @ayesha_rare invited me into her kitchen at @shukettenyc, one of my favorite places in NYC (and on the NYTimes top 100 list, NO BIG DEAL). 

If you haven’t been to Shukette, they are famous for their small plates, shareable menu and signature “rip & dip” style. Ayesha shared her famous pita recipe (look for that PUFF) and their smoked Arctic char dip - which, yes, I do pick favorites, and yes, that one is it 😍

I’m by no means a professional, so whenever I get to cook with one it’s the most fun thing in the world. As for the recipes, well, you’ll have to check in with Ayesha for those 😎 

**PS the audio might be less than great, but we were in a professional kitchen! With professionals! I’d sacrifice audio for pita any day 🙏

The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie r The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie remake recipe! Part 1 & 2 will be up in my stories - but long story short, I took one of the worst recipes on my blog, and after painful trial and error, turned it into one of my best.

This video is the culmination of about a week of testing of the iconic @gideonsbakehouse cookie, with various flours, bake times, chocolate and ratios thrown in the mix. 

I’m nowhere near a professional baker, just an enthusiast, so the full journey is on TikTok and reshared in my stories, just in case you want to see but don’t have that app! 

Plus the recipe will be linked in bio, after this much work I would never withhold it from you 💚🍪

Olive oil muddled strawberry Paper Plane - and I’m so so excited to say this is #sponsored by my loves over at @getgraza!

You can check my stories for more info about why I love Graza and why you see them in *almost* every video, but when it comes to olive oil, they have one of my favorite systems. You can subscribe to get two bottles, the larger (The Sizzle) made specifically for cooking, and the smaller (The Drizzle) meant for finishing, dipping, swirling, whatever. And idk how to say this and not sound cheesy, but they’re more than just that brand you see everywhere on social media. Their team is great, their process is great, and their level of quality and flavor. is. great. Their product is all single-origin Spanish olive oil, so I can’t vouch for them more 🫡

And if you don’t want to subscribe, they’re now in Whole Foods! As someone who has known the founders from early on, I felt like a proud child.

Ok, I’m getting emotional. But this cocktail itself could not be easier (recipe in video!), and strawberries marinated in Graza’s single origin drizzle add a peppery note that you have to try at least once.

And last but not least, my code!! JUSTINESNACKS for $5 off your first Graza Duo (Sizzle and Drizzle). Buy Graza in my name to avenge me and I’ll love u forever 💚

Ok, oil on my children - and plz make this drink 🍹

What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. Because a singular anchovy makes everything better. (Also my sourdough was just dying to be put to use)

The full recipe is on the blog, done in 15 minutes or less, and just really delicious. Although tbh my younger self would probably still prefer the microwaved version, which tbh I respect. 

And if there are any nostalgic recipes you made that you’d want recreated, let me know, I’m always down for another savory toast 🍕

A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! Gift gi A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! 

Gift giving is not my love language, I’m more of a words of affirmation girl, so I wanted to make this video (and this cake!) my birthday present 🥹

This is the “Ashley’s Birthday Cake” recipe from @joannebchang’s book, Pastry Love. I used just traditional buttercream recipes for the chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla bean buttercreams. Oreo crumble was added, because you all insisted 😌

Happy Birthday @e_lipk4 💚
