Cinnamon Swirl Almond Flour Muffins

Almond flour has almost no gluten-like structure, so resting the batter 10 minutes before baking helps it set up instead of spreading thin.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp allulose (for swirl)

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, and applesauce until smooth, then stir in almond flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined.

  3. 3

    Let the batter rest for 10 minutes — almond flour has no gluten to build structure, so this rest lets it hydrate and thicken slightly before baking, giving a better rise.

  4. 4

    Mix the cinnamon and allulose together in a small bowl, then divide the batter among muffin cups and swirl a spoonful of the cinnamon mixture into each with a toothpick.

  5. 5

    Bake 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
