Snickerdoodle Muffins

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Snickerdoodles are my absolute favorite cookie – and I think a huge part of it has to do with that signature snickerdoodle tang (is tang the right word for it?)

So I knew it was about time to turn this amazing cookie into a breakfast muffin. And these gluten-free, dairy free muffins were born!

Now going back to that signature snickerdoodle taste – that comes from using an excess of cream of tartar in a recipe, which helps make a light and fluffy cake, but also gives that acidic note that you taste when you bite into a snickerdoodle. So don’t worry, this recipe has pleeeenty of cream of tartar. You won’t miss the snickerdoodle taste here at all!

Ingredients

  • 1 & ⅔ cup oats blended into flour 180g
  • 1 tsp baking powder

    The flavor of these muffins is probably my new favorite! So delicious. Just curious if adding a little bit of Xanthium gum or something similar would help them be less crumbly. The consistency of the batter is still great! Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi! This is also something I’m working on, sometimes the muffins are perfect and sometimes they’re a tad too tender, and I think for me it has to do with the coarseness of my oat flour. But I’ll definitely look into xantham gum and report back!

Never let another mushroom go to waste in your fri Never let another mushroom go to waste in your fridge again! PLEASE. FOR ME. 

First, you can always make mushroom broth, but second, there’s this Brussels Sprouts & Barley in Sage @icelandicprovisions Skyr Dressing is my wholesome, nutrient-packed, baked salad that I *might* be calling my best recipe of 2023?

And it’s all thanks to @IcelandicProvisions and their powerhouse #skyr (my long-term favorite, as you know!) #sponsored. The mushrooms and brussels sprouts make this recipe full of micronutrients, but the thick & creamy skyr brings the protein and the flavor to balance everything out. I use a whole 5.3 ounce cup of #IcelandicProvisions in the recipe to make it creamy and perfectly dressed. Thank you to them for sponsoring this recipe, but know that I’d be using Icelandic Provisions either way!

The full recipe is on my site, and you can find where to shop Icelandic Provisions in my bio. We’re Team Skyr here ;)

Mother Snacks’ Burnt Sweet Potatoes and Tomatoes Mother Snacks’ Burnt Sweet Potatoes and Tomatoes - my Thanksgiving obsession, adapted from Mason Hereford’s recipe in the @turkeyandthewolf cookbook (which you should buy! And visit!) 

His recipe is called Mom’s Burnt Tomatoes, and uses savory fried tomatoes that melt down together until they are lava hot. I followed suit in the belief that Burnt Tomatoes should be made by moms only, and the sweeter, sweet-potato version came next!

If the browning on top scares you, let me try to convince you otherwise. It’s a nearly crisped sugar top that you will break into at a nearly obsessive pace. Mini marshmallows (while great) could never. 

I can’t get enough of this recipe, it’s one of the few sloppy casseroles I believe in, and it’s now earned a place on my Thanksgiving table. Although if you want to make it on any near-frigid day, it’s perfect for that, too. 

The recipe is on the blog if you ever want it!

Cranberry sauce salad! For a world where cranberry Cranberry sauce salad! For a world where cranberry sauce *might* (ahem, MIGHT) be left behind. 

And I just always need a bright, crisp, cool salad to break up a big meal. This is part 3 of my Thanksgiving videos this year, and I’d argue my most important??

My rule is the simpler the salad, the better. Keep the veg in big beautiful wedges for the most gorgeous finger salad on the table (and yes, I’m team eat-salad-with-fingers), and finish with pomegranate wedges and goat cheese.

The full recipe is on the blog, for cranberry sauce lovers and skeptics combined ofc! 😉

Bay Leaf Butter Bread! Part one of my Thanksgiving Bay Leaf Butter Bread! Part one of my Thanksgiving Menu - and it’s dinner roll supremacy bb!! And proof that my flow-state involves yeasted doughs. 

And this seedy, nutty, salty and buttery dough tastes both salty AND buttery even without butter spread on top. Hold your rolls to a higher standard. Demand that they should taste like butter even without butter. Goodnight. 🫡

And bay leaf butter? Now my favorite thing. Steep the bay leaves in melty butter for 15-20 min, then crank the heat to get everything toast brown. You’ll get all the earthy, peppery notes of bay leaf mixed with the toasty, roasted brown butter. Brush on the rolls, then cool the butter to a whipped consistency for serving.

She’s on the blog, and ready for you if you ever need her 🍞
