Buttery, flaky, cardamom studded and crunchy with sugar – cruffins have it all. These darlings of social media are cross between a croissant and a muffin.

Blueberry Ricotta Breakfast Cake
Ina Garten’s done it again with this downright delicious, picture-perfect recipe. Moist thanks to the ricotta and sour cream. Sweet and balanced because of the blueberries and lemon. Easy and doable because of, well, Ina! We amp up the citrus with our Pure Lemon Extract and dust this single layer beauty with Vanilla Bean Powder....
Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Cupcakes
We adapted this cute little muffin from America’s Test Kitchen. We subbed in Louisiana Pecan Oil and doubled down (like we do) on the extracts. Both Almond and Chocolate Extracts go to work on building flavor in these beauties. Note that if you’re using “ultra fine” almond flour, the muffins will likely sink in the...

According to Half Baked Harvest, it’s all about the type of chocolate and whisked eggs. In our adaptation,...
Five Dollar Milkshake
In the movie pulp fiction, Uma Thurman’s character Mia orders a milkshake to which John Travolta’s Vincent incredulously asks, “Did you just order a five-dollar shake?” She offers him a sip, and his expletive-filled response declares that it is worth the money. According to Reddit, in today’s money, that milkshake would be $9.70. Movie fact...
