Here’s a cake that makes you want to cancel all your plans and stay home with a cup of coffee!

This Spiced Oatmeal Crumb Cake uses Janie’s Mill Oat Flakes, Oat Flour, and All-Purpose Flour. And the Vanilla Oat Crumble on top could be the best part! Keep the butter cold and do not press the crumble into the batter because those crunchy, craggy, irregular pieces are the best!

Lisa Balcom of The Unlisted Table developed this recipe especially for Janie’s Mill. She describes her inspiration as that moment at the end of summer when you are not quite ready for full pumpkin season but you want oats, warm spices, brown sugar, and exactly this kind of cake. And this is the perfect time to make it!

Halloween is nothing without a sweet treat, and this is the perfect recipe to bake up today! 👻🍫

This 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗸𝗲 is based on a classic Texas Sheet Cake and comes together in a way that feels almost backwards - you melt the butter, simmer it with cocoa, add boiling water, and pour the whole hot mixture over the flour and sugar before adding the rest of your ingredients. It sounds unconventional but it comes out perfectly every single time.

It works beautifully with our All-Purpose Flour, Frederick Cake Flour, or Spelt Flour … whichever you have on hand!

Top it with the optional meringue ghosts for the full Halloween moment and watch every person at the table reach for them first.

Some recipes are about more than the bread. They are about memory and connection across time and space. 🌾

Our newest team member is our Operations Manager Emily Wilken. She is the daughter of one of Janie’s Mill co-owners (Harold) and sister of the other (Ross). She joined us in June, after 17 years as a math teacher and administrator. She has spent the past months learning about all aspects of our operation — from milling and packaging to connecting with the customers who use our products.

Emily’s passion for Pan de Mu**to traces back 18 years when she returned to Mexico to visit her study-abroad host family and celebrate Día de los Mu**tos, a Mexican tradition to honor the spirits of deceased loved ones that takes place November 1st and 2nd. The tradition of honoring the dead has resonated with Emily as she was always striving to find ways to honor her sister, Janie, the namesake of Janie’s Mill.

The son of Emily’s host parents, Fernando, eventually became her husband. Emily and Fernando have made Pan de Mu**to a few times over the years. This year, they enjoyed using the recipe from our friends at Muddy Fork Bakery to make pan de mu**to with their children.

As Emily says, “Baking is a way to remember those who came before us, love the ones who are here with us, and nurture traditions for future generations.” We hope you will consider baking pan de mu**to and integrating it into your family’s traditions! 🥰

Get a sneak peek behind the scenes with our Mill Manager Jill, who explains some of the planning and coordination that has to happen in order to get fresh flour from our mill to your door. 🌾

Jill walks us through how production planning actually works at Janie’s Mill - balancing dozens of products across four mills, milling large wholesale orders, and also the staple products you need in your kitchen. And if you are curious which flours keep us the busiest, they are High Protein, Sifted Artisan, and All-Purpose! 🙌

Careful planning and good communication are critical to keeping our operation running smoothly, and making sure your order gets to your door as quickly as possible, and the whiteboard you see in this video is how we keep everyone on the same page!

Want a gluten-free chocolate cake that’s elegant enough for a dinner party but easy enough to pull together quickly? Then you’re going to love this recipe! 🍫

This Buckwheat Tahini Chocolate Cake comes to us from Cameron Marter (Cameron Marter), a baking enthusiast and recipe developer based in Chicago. It uses Buckwheat Flour and almond flour for their nutty flavors and textures. Combined with semisweet chocolate, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and tahini, you get a complex flavor profile that is deep and rich without being heavy.

Dusted with confectioner’s sugar and served warm with crème anglaise, it is genuinely one of the most impressive and irresistible cakes you’ll bake this year!
