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!

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Muffin liners

Ingredients

  • 1 & ⅔ cup oats blended into flour 180g
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar a necessity to get that snickerdoodle taste!
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup melted butter or vegan butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg

Cinnamon sugar topping:

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt.
  • In another bowl whisk together the butter, syrup, egg until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and pour into six muffin liners. Due to the oat flour, these will be very tender, so the muffin liners are needed!

    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!

Tinned Fish potatoes with @patagoniaprovisions, my Tinned Fish potatoes with @patagoniaprovisions, my favorite mussels out there and the ones we could eat daily. And yes, Patagonia makes food! It’s the first question I get asked when I post with them, but they make my favorite tinned fish out there! The mackerel is addictive and the mussels help to restore ocean ecosystems (and are delicious, too!). Definitely worth being your tinned fish of choice 💚

Full recipe is on the blog, and I’ll link where to find Patagonia Provisions in my bio! #sponsored

TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dres TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dressing is my everything, and tajín feta by @athenosfeta is also my new everything. #AthenosPartner

This roasty, charred and spicy cauliflower cooks down with jammy, salty tomatoes, the flavors were inspired by Athenos’ new Tajín feta crumbles (!!!) which are the base of this simple dressing that’s packed with flavor. 

I’ve put these tangy, zippy feta crumbles in mini quesadillas, on avocado toast, in salads, and I think it’s their best invention yet. #FoodNeedsFeta and you can find this genius feta innovation at your grocery store! #AthenosPartner
