Fond memories of Joan’s Gluten-Free Great Bakes

I originally published the recipe here over 10 years ago. But life has a way of throwing unexpected twists, and ours came in the form of Joan’s Gluten-Free Great Bakes closing its doors. It’s nostalgic to reminisce about those days, especially since Joan herself once left a heartwarming comment, sharing how she developed her English muffins specifically for English Muffin pizza.

No doubt, we miss the presence of Joan’s Great Bakes in the gluten-free community.

Suddenly, our go-to English muffins vanished, leaving us adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

Instructions with step by step images

Alright, so first things first, crank up that oven to 400℉.

Next up, let’s deal with those frozen gluten free English muffins. You can either zap them in the microwave for a bit or just let them hang out on the counter until they’re defrosted. Once they’re ready, grab a fork and split those babies open. Then, pop ’em in the toaster until they’re all nice and golden.

Now, onto the baking sheet they go! Lay out those toasted English muffin halves so they’re all ready for their toppings.

Time to get saucy! Grab a spoon and dollop some pizza sauce onto each muffin half.

Now comes the fun part – the cheese! Sprinkle it generously over the saucy muffins until they’re all covered in cheesy goodness.

Now, here’s where you can get creative. Add whatever toppings you prefer. I’m all about a slice of tomato and a sprinkle of basil on a couple of mine, but feel free to mix it up! The other two have some pepperoni or whatever else you like.

Last but not least, into the oven they go! Bake ’em up for about 3 minutes, just until that cheese gets all melty and irresistible.

When I take them out of the oven, I like to sprinkle them with parmesan cheese.

I wanted to take a picture with the parmesan cheese, but they were gobbled up before I got a chance.

Pro tips and recipe notes

What kind of toppings work best for these pizza muffins? You can customize these muffins with any toppings you like! Classic options include pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or even pineapple for a sweet and savory twist.
Are these pizza muffins suitable for those with dairy allergies? Absolutely! You can easily make dairy-free versions by using dairy-free English muffins and dairy-free cheese alternatives or omitting the cheese altogether.
How long do these pizza muffins stay fresh? They’re best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
