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.
My other muffin recipes are just as easy as this one so be sure to check them out:

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.

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!!!!!

These keto muffins are so easy to make and look delicious! I am going to save a few to eat right away and freeze the rest so that I will have a great snack for company that come to my condo and I don't know what to serve for them to eat. I will definitely make this recipe again!!
Laura says
These came out perfect, nice and fluffy thank you for your recipes!!
Jennifer says
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
Jenny says
What did I do wrong, they’ve sunk in the middle!
Zibby says
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.
Debbie says
These sound so good have you tried to use them in a AIR FRYER IT us getting so Hot So AIR FRYER IS THE ONLY WAY
Paula says
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.
Tashalee says
Try buying the almond flour at Aldi if you have one. It's the cheapest I have found.
Kelly says
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.
