Brown Butter Pumpkin Muffins 🍂🍁


Hi Reader,

I hope you are enjoying some crisp fall air wherever you are! It's still quite warm in Texas, but I'm definitely still embracing the fall season through cooking and baking! September just calls for the start of pumpkin season, right?!

I posted a Brown Butter Pumpkin Streusel Muffin recipe on my website, and I think you are going to LOVE it. It's such a fun combination for pumpkin muffins!

Brown Butter Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

These Brown Butter Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are soft, moist, and perfectly spiced, with rich, nutty brown butter throughout and a crumbly brown butter pecan streusel on top. They’re the perfect cozy fall muffin recipe!

On another note, I also posted a Chili Oil Sardine Dip for those who love a little spice, lots of omega-3's, and a fun and unique appetizer! I've actually also been enjoying it as a light lunch that's protein-packed and filling. The base is made with whole milk yogurt, sardines, fresh lemon, and dill, then topped with a homemade chili oil made with sautéed shallots and garlic, walnuts, red pepper flakes, and paprika. The chili oil is definitely my favorite part and really takes the recipe to another level! It is a savory, zesty, and slightly spicy. It's absolutely delicious served with toasted sourdough, crackers, or sliced veggies for scooping.

This Chili Oil Sardine Dip is creamy, savory, a little spicy, and so flavorful! It’s an easy way to turn a simple can of sardines into a satisfying appetizer, snack, or protein-packed lunch. Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

I hope you love these recipes!! As always, if you make one of my recipes, I’d love to hear how it turned out! Even a quick star rating or little review on the recipe is so appreciated. I love hearing about what you’re making! 🤎

Have a wonderful weekend,
