I adapted this recipe from Nuts.com, making it dairy-free, and taking out the walnuts since I’m not a big fan of nuts in baked goods. All I can say is…YUM!
Recipe: Grain-Free Cinnamon Muffins (makes 9-10 muffins)
2.5 cups almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1.5 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 cup refrigerated full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk (make sure it’s stirred up)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
For the glaze:
1 TBSP cinnamon
2 TBSP pure maple syrup
1 TBSP coconut oil
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a muffin tin with liners. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk and syrup. Add to dry ingredients and stir until combined. Pour into muffin tins and drizzle glaze over each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.

My daughter is coming home from SE Asia after a 6 mth trip and Apple Cinnamon muffins are her favorite!!
I would like to put walnuts or pecans in so how much? Also, would almond milk work?
Thanks!!
radlandon says
I would say a cup of nuts, and you could might be able to replace almond milk for the coconut milk, but I’m not sure if it will give the muffins the nice moist texture that that coconut milk does?

Where do you purchase your almond flour? It is very expensive at each store I price it out at…..it would be great to know if you have any secrets to eating well and keeping the costs to a family budget.
Thanks

I get my almond flour from Honeyville. http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/flours.aspx If you sign up for their newsletters, you’ll get discount codes e-mailed to you every couple of months or so.
radlandon says
Thank you! I’ll look into them!
radlandon says
I buy mine online in bulk from nuts.com–but it looks like Honeyville may be a good potential option as well.

Made these last night exactly as your recipe and they are AMAZING! They taste like a hot cinnamon roll right out of the oven! They are gone already after my family tasting them last night, breakfast today and a snack for me. This is a great recipe because I always have all these items on hand to make them. I love your recipe’s, so simple yet so good!
radlandon says
Thank you, Kristin! So happy you enjoyed them!
Kristin W. says
Just had one cold out of the fridge, even better than hot out of the oven, this is hands down my new favorite muffin recipe!
radlandon says
I love these cold, too!!! Haven’t tried freezing them, but that’s next on my list! Would love to have these on hand to give to the kids for a snack!
Kristin W. says
I have frozen 2 batches and they thaw perfectly and taste great!
Veronica says
These are awesome! I made them in my donut pan. They didn’t even last a day my husband and sons ate them all up!
Lindy says
Can you use almond milk instead of Coconut milk?

Yes!
Heather says
I buy fine sifted almond flour at Costco.
