These keto cinnamon muffins are the ideal low carb sweet treat for breakfast, snacking or a sweet treat with your afternoon coffee. These muffins are actually made with almond flour, eggs and a keto-friendly sweetener, such as erythritol or monk fruit. This is what keeps them fluffy, moist and completely sugar-free. The warming spice of cinnamon gives you a cozy taste that is more like a bakery-style cinnamon bun (without the carb crash.)
My keto cinnamon muffins recipe is so simple to make! They only take one bowl and not much effort at all. They are, of course, gluten-free, grain-free and keto friendly for anyone on a low-carb or keto lifestyle. They’re also easy to customise. Top with a swirl of cream cheese, chopped nuts or a light sprinkle of nutmeg for your own personal touch. Whether you are feeding yourself breakfast for a week or throwing together a speedy dessert, these muffins hit the spot, and are enjoyable any time of day.
And the best part is they keep, so you can whip up a batch in advance. If you’re looking for something warm, moist, and spiced without ruining your carb goals, then you won’t want to miss out on this keto cinnamon muffins recipe that hits all the marks.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg if you’re using and mix together.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, melted butter, almond milk and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Together: Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently mix until a lumpy batter forms. Do not over-mix.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter among the muffin cups (which should be filled about ¾ full).
- Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- I use room temperature eggs, so the butter doesn't coagulate.
- If you want more cinnamon flavor you can sprinkle a little cinnamon sweetener on top before baking.
- Keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
- Muffins freeze well, and can be microwaved directly if you’re in a pinch for a snack.
- If you use coconut flour in place of almond flour, you will also need to change the amount of liquid, as coconut flour absorbs more.
