Keto Muffins
Keto Cinnamon “Sugar” Donut Style
This recipe comes from a friend who has been making them for years. They have been gluten and sugar free all her life and (in my eyes) she is the queen of baking GF! Her classic keto cinnamon sugar donut is a huge hit with her family and friends. Everyone who eats them absolutely loves them.
I know you hear it all the time, your family will love them and not know they are keto friendly. It is true. We strive to recreate and share recipes that are keto/low carb friendly that the whole family will love. Otherwise, you tend to have to cook twice as much which can lead to falling back into a regular habit of eating anything.
One of the easiest ways to eat keto
AND STAY on keto is to help others adapt to your way of eating. If you are like me, you have lived long enough trying to diet or change your eating habits while others stuff their face with everything and anything right in front of you. These keto donut muffins are a great way to start them on your track. Just remember, let them know, adapting to the different tastes is easy and quick. Especially the sweeteners, once you stop eating sugar you stop craving it. Making it easier to give up.
Try experimenting with this muffin recipe by adding different extracts or flavor oils. We added apple to ours and can’t wait to try pumpkin! There are ways to eat keto and not feel deprived of certain flavors. After all, flavor is why we eat food not necessarily what it is made from. Think about that. If you like apple cinnamon muffins you can still have them.

Can I use Coconut Flour instead of Almond Flour?
The short answer is yes. However, first, we have not tested the recipe that way. This recipe has been tested multiple times with almond flour and made many many times by readers with almond flour.
That isn’t to say that you can not try the swap. Something to understand before making the swap. Coconut flour absorbs WAY more liquid than almond flour does. Like. A lot. So the two will never be equally interchangeable. If swapping coconut flour for almond flour you need to increase your liquid. In the case of this recipe, I would start with increasing the cream by 1/4c and maybe even one more egg.

And certainly let us know how your swap out worked!
