Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup erythritol (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- ¼ cup erythritol (or sweetener of choice, for batter)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (for batter)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for even rising.
- Bake: Bake the muffins for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While baking, mix ground cinnamon and erythritol in a small bowl to create the coating mixture.
- Coat Muffins: Once baked, remove muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Brush each muffin with melted butter then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve or Store: Serve the muffins warm for best flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and almond milk are at room temperature for best batter consistency.
- You can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia powder, adjusting to taste.
- Using paper liners simplifies cleanup and prevents sticking but greasing the tin works well too.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be warmed in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Keep muffins in an airtight container to avoid drying out.
