Made with almond and coconut flours, these moist, flavorful muffins are coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar blend that satisfies your sweet tooth without the carbs. Quick to prepare and bake, they’re an ideal keto-friendly treat for any time of day.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full for even rising.
  6. Bake: Bake the muffins for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: While baking, mix ground cinnamon and erythritol in a small bowl to create the coating mixture.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
