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
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- 2
Whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, and applesauce until smooth, then stir in almond flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined.
- 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.

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.

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