Ingredients
  

  • You'll NeedFor the Muffins:
  • 2 cups (220 g / 7.8 oz) blanched almond flour
  • ⅔ cup (130 g / 4.6 oz) erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) milk (nondairy or regular)
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) melted coconut oil or ghee
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) hulled hemp seedsFor the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) melted coconut oil or ghee
  • ¼ cup (45 g / 1.59 oz) granulated erythritol
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) ground cinnamon
  • Tips and Variations
  • Store these muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to one month and thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
  • For a dairy-free version, use your favorite non-dairy milk and coconut oil (not ghee). For a coconut-free option, simply use ghee instead of coconut oil.
  • The hulled hemp seeds add a great protein and texture boost. If you don't have them, you can omit them or replace them with ½ cup / 80 g (2.82 oz) of collagen peptides for a similar protein kick.
  • To keep this recipe low-FODMAP, stick to one muffin per serving, as almond flour is tolerated in smaller quantities. Use almond, macadamia nut, or hemp milk for the best results.

Method
 

  1. How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Muffins1. Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C.
  2. Line a standard 12-well muffin pan with paper liners or use a silicone muffin pan for easy release. 2.
  3. Mix Dry : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until no lumps remain. 3.
  4. Combine Wet : In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the hulled hemp seeds. 4. Fill and Bake: Carefully divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan. 5. Make the Topping: While the muffins are cooling, prepare the topping.
  8. Place the melted oil in one small bowl.
  9. In another small bowl, stir together the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon. 6.
  10. Coat the Muffins: Once the muffins are cool enough to handle, brush the top of each warm muffin with the melted oil, then generously sprinkle with the cinnamon-erythritol mixture. Gently tap off any excess and repeat with the remaining muffins.
  11. Serve warm!
