    Keto Cinnamon Donut Muffins

    Jump to Recipe Pin for Later

    Perfect for breakfast or brunch...these keto cinnamon sugar donut muffins are so easy to make and super delicious.  They are completely sugar free but they taste just like the real thing!

    I first made these cinnamon sugar donut muffins and they were not keto.  Far from it actually!  I was first introduced to these when I was watching the Pioneer Woman one day and she made French Breakfast Puffs.  I instantly knew I had to make them.

    They were absolutely delicious and I needed to make them keto asap!

    These muffins start off just like all of my other muffins recipes.  It is my tried and true recipe and it makes perfectly light and fluffy keto muffins.

    I bake them in a 400F oven for about 18 to 20 minutes and they come out perfect every time.  Let them cool before you start dipping them in the topping.

    KETO CINNAMON SUGAR MUFFIN TOPPING

    The topping to these donut muffins is a mixture of cinnamon and granular sweetener.  We get that to stick by first dipping the tops in melted butter.

    I tried dipping these completely in the butter, followed by coating them completely in cinnamon and sugar.  I found this to be overwhelmingly sweet so I do just the tops of the muffins.

    Ingredients

    • 2 ½ Cups almond flour (click here to see my favorite on Amazon)
    • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt

    Equipment

    • 4 tablespoon scoop

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat the oven to 400F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners. Spray the inside of the liners with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and sweetener. Now add in the beaten eggs, greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
    • Scoop the batter into the muffin cups evenly using a scoop. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool
    • In a small bowl, combine the ½ cup of sweetener and the cinnamon. In a seperate small bowl, melt the butter. Dip the tops of each muffin in the melted butter, followed by the cinnamon and sweetener. Serve

    Jennifer's tips

    • Greek Yogurt: I like to use Fage 2% plain Greek Yogurt.  You can use sour cream but that would increase the calories and the carb count.

      I love these Muffins. Make them often for an easy snack or breakfast. Also, I appreciate the cook mode button. First site I’ve seen that uses it and think it’s brilliant!

      I have made these muffins a lot and I was so upset they crumbed and fell apart and I had heard that if you let your batter set for at least 20 to 30 minutes then put in muffin cups they will not do that and so I tried it and it worked. They didn't fall apart!!!! I was so excited!!! They are amazing and now I can take them with me when I go places and not worry about them falling apart and getting everywhere!!!

      Hello Jennifer,
      This is the 2nd time I have made these and the only thing is I used Better than Sugar then using monkfruit. Better than Sugar taste just like sugar and I used avocado oil instead of butter. Only reason is because butter is so expensive and I didn't want to use my grass fed butter. But I will make this again and again. So so good!!!!!

      They may have collapsed in the center because the oven was too hot. But they are the softest muffins I have EVER made (and I've made a LOT). I didn't want to use the extra sugar so I added 2 tspns cinnamon to the mixture, so good.
      excellent recipe- thank you

      Delicious! Finally, a way I can get some eggs in my diet. I don't like the texture of almond flour, but I sifted it and that seemed to help.

      Theses sound wonderful. After checking the price of the flour and sugar, they are expensive muffins. I watch my carbs by checking all items I buy.

        Try buying the almond flour at Aldi if you have one. It's the cheapest I have found.

      I made these for the first time last Sunday, 1 week ago. I've made them twice since then. They have a wonderful flavor and texture (Not grainy at all). Everyone in my picky family that has tried them has loved them. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe.

      My family was blown away by how tasty these are! I am totally going to buy your cookbook —I haven’t baked in years because we are all no sugar and low carb, and I am gf as well.
      Your recipes are a game changer! Blessings!
