Cinnamon Muffins are easy to make and taste like a cinnamon sugar coated donut.

When I first moved towards the grain & gluten free lifestyle, I thought my days of baked goods were over. I certainly didn’t think I’d ever get to experience muffins again and definitely not anything that resembled the taste of a cake donut!

You’re going to want to make these muffins. They’re a family favorite (husband AND kid approved) and the only real problem with them is that there is never leftovers….save yourself the trouble and make a double batch from the start.

How To Make Cinnamon Muffins

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, pumpkin puree and butter.
• Blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Line muffin pan with liners (makes 18 muffins).
• Fill each muffin liner 3/4 full with batter.
• Bake muffins at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
• While the muffins are baking, you’ll want to prepare the cinnamon sugar topping, using two bowls.
• In the first bowl, melt the butter.
• In the second bowl, combine the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon.
• Remove muffins from oven and let cool.

• Once cooled, brush each muffin top with butter and then generously sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar mixture.

These muffins are the perfect sweet to have alongside breakfast or brunch and they will make the perfect addition to your holiday spread!
