Recipe Reveal: Cinnamon Power Muffins

Posted on

I usually do not post two recipes in one week, however this week is an exception. The biscuits I posted yesterday were requested after I had them on our menu plan last week, and these muffins have been such a hit in our home that I just had to share the recipe!

Since we mostly do not eat grains, I have been getting acclimated to alternative flours over the last several months. I am most comfortable with coconut flour, but had been interested to try almond flour for a while. At out new grocery store, I can get almond flour in bulk, which makes it much cheaper than in Peoria. I picked some up a few weeks ago and adapted this muffin recipe from one I used to make before we decreased our grain consumption. My husband LOVES these and I hope you do too!

Cinnamon Power Muffins

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c. coconut cream* (or whole milk yogurt)
  • 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 c. almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp. real salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 c. honey
  • 2 tbs. butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tbs. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325. Grease your muffin tin or line with papers. Whisk together the eggs, yogurt, syrup and extract in a large bowl and set aside. Toss the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Melt the butter and honey together on the stovetop and add this to the wet ingredients. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well. Using a 1/4 c. measuring cup, fill the muffin cups with batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Remove and enjoy!

  2. I’m very curious about these, but allergic to almonds… Do you think they could be made with coconut flour? LOL,I know you said that you usually use coconut flour!

    • I imagine they COULD by made with coconut flour, but I have not tried it. I would suggest just starting with a basic coconut flour muffin recipe and adding the cinnamon. Heavenly Homemakers has a great basic coconut flour muffin recipe. Hope that helps!
