- "On one visit, I came across some Southern Mustafarians heatin' up these sweet balls of dough directly on the planet's scorchin' volcanic crust. The result was this sweet red bread with a cracked, blackened exterior. Looked nearly as impressive as it tasted."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook
Mustafarian Lava Buns were a type of sweet bread from the planet Mustafar edible by Artiodacs and Southern Mustafarians,[1] a subspecies of the native Mustafarians.[2] Made from a dough, the bread was cooked by Southern Mustafarians directly on the world's hot, volcanic surface. The resulting buns were ball-shaped, red, and had a cracked black exterior. At some point, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs visited the planet and found a group of Mustafarians baking the buns. Finding the bread's look impressive, he tasted it and found its flavor to be even more so.[1]
In 34 ABY,[3] Tuggs included a recipe for Mustafarian Lava Buns in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. He also included his story of visiting Mustafar. Tuggs went on to mention that a normal oven would work in place of lava and that the buns were too good to pass up.[1]

The out-of-universe recipe for the buns' dough includes warm milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, instant dry yeast, red gel food coloring, and all-purpose flour. The ingredients for the topping are rice flour, instant dry yeast, sugar, vegetable oil, warm water, black gel food coloring, and coarse salt.[1]
