Keto cinnamon sugar muffins taste just like your favorite churro or donut. Of course, they’re 100% sugar free, gluten free, and grain free making them perfect for your keto breakfasts. This easy keto muffin recipe is sure to be a new family favorite!
Something I’ve always loved doing with my kids, especially as they’ve gotten older, is make muffins together on the weekends. I used to buy a boxed muffin mix that was easy enough for little hands to help measure and mix.
Now that we avoid processed foods as much as possible, I strive to create easy homemade recipes that my kids can still help create and that enjoy eating. Getting your kids in the kitchen at an early age is a great skill you can bestow them. Plus, it’s fun!
These keto cinnamon sugar muffins are both easy and fun for you to make alone or with your littles. I mean, what kid doesn’t want to eat something with the word “sugar” in the title?!
Of course, we’re using keto “sugars” in this easy keto muffin recipe but calling it “keto monkfruit cinnamon muffins” just didn’t sound as fun. š

Making Your Own Keto Cinnamon Sugar Muffins
Whether you’re having a lazy Saturday morning or hosting brunch, these keto cinnamon sugar muffins are a wonderful addition to your table. They’re a cinch to prepare and a great recipe to introduce to your non-keto friends and family.
Here’s what you need:
- 2 medium sized mixing bowls
- Whisk, hand mixer, or stand mixer
- 1/2 cup measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- Muffin tin (6 cup, 12 cup, or 24 cup)
- Cookie scoop or spoon
- Small mixing bowl
- Silicone basting brush
All you’ll have to do is mix all your ingredients in the mixing bowl, evenly divide your batter in the muffin tin, and bake.
If you use cooking spray to grease your muffin tin, you don’t even need to use liners! However, if you prefer a liner, I really like these silicone ones!
After baking, brush your muffins with some melted butter and roll in a cinnamon sugar mixture. If your kids are helping, they’ll LOVE this part!
Ingredients and Substitutions For This Easy Keto Cinnamon Sugar Muffin Recipe
- Flaxseed: if you’re new to low carb baking, flaxseed may seem like a weird ingredient. In actuality, flax is very common especially in baked goods. Flaxseed adds moisture and texture to low carb and gluten free baked goods, it can even be used to replace eggs in some recipes (not this one though). I highly encourage you to grab a bag of flaxseed on your next grocery run, you can find it just about everywhere these days. However, if you just can’t wait to make these muffins and don’t have the flaxseed on hand, you can omit it.
- Sweeteners: you can use whichever brand of zero carb sweetener you prefer. Personally, I use this in all of my recipes and prefer it because there isn’t a cooling effect with every bite.

![I know what youāre thinking, ādid she post a bowl of beans?ā Why yes, I did! š Iām starting a new monthly series on my blog where I plan to share one of my [non-keto] heirloom recipes each month. I wanted to do this for a few reasons. 1ļøā£I love cooking and photographing food! 2ļøā£I love the stories that go along with old handwritten recipe cards. 3ļøā£Sometimes we want/need to feed people who donāt eat like we do (or maybe we want a special treat). 4ļøā£ Anytime I share recipes like these in my stories, many folks ask for a reference at a later date than I canāt provide because theyāre not on my blog! 5ļøā£Because if thereās anything that brings people together, itās a table with good food! All of the reasons why I began blogging in the first place!š„°
I kicked off this series with my recipe for these delicious southern pinto beans. Soup beans, or southern pinto beans, are the perfect way to use up a leftover hamhock. This blog post will walk you through making the best ham and bean soup using your Instant Pot. If youāve never cooked dry beans before, fear not, this post is just for you!

Oh my gosh these are SO delicious. I made them with all of the ingredients. No substitutions and they turned out so good. Seriously, I am SO happy that I found this recipe. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!! My heart is happy!!
Just made these last night. I accidentally added 1 T coconut flour (bc I was in a hurry), then added the 1T of flaxseed meal, too. Still turned out absolutely delicious. I will be making these for a long time to come. Thank you so much!!
Can granulated sweetener be used in the muffin recipe instead of powdered?
Yes
I don’t have flaxseed meal. Can i omit it?
All of that information can be found in the blog post under āsubstitutionsā.
Are the measurements the same if using granulated sweetener instead of powdered?
You typically use half of the amount when using powdered sweeteners because they are a 2:1 conversion as opposed to a 1:1. Just check your particular product’s packaging. That is typically listed on the back and many brands use a spoon as an icon for ratios.
Hate to ask, but do you think I could sub almond milk for the half and half? Iām allergic to dairy. Thanks in advance!
Yes, I think you could! Actually, you know what I think would work better is the plain extra creamy oat milk by Chobabi. I tried some over the weekend and it was very reminiscent in taste and texture of real cream. It is GF and DF so a great alternative despite it being made with oats. I was impressed.
Ooo thank you!! My partner is Keto and Iām also āketoā (minus dairy, ha!), so I think weāll try the almond milk (oat = carbs, obvs), and Iāll report back! Perhaps I can thicken the almond milk over heat first…experiments!
I can see how you’d assume oat milk is ‘carbs, obvs”. However, oat milk is 7NC for 1 cup (0.4 NC per tablespoon) which is the exact same as half n half (half a carb per tbsp). Oat milk is gluten free so it’s actually a great alternative for a variety of diets as well as dairy free folks.
Hi! These are delicious. I just wanted to point out MyFitnessPal is saying 1 muffin is 9.7 carbs and I am not sure how that I when youāre recipe said 1.9?
You’re probably not accounting for sugar alcohols as MFP doesn’t pull those separately. If you use allulose, which is not a sugar alcohol, you still deduct all the carbs. All macros are going to vary slightly due to different brands of ingredients people use but not that significantly.
I was planning on making these already with whatever powdered erythritol blend I could find at the store (I’ve only ever used granular in the past), but I was pleasantly surprised to find your preferred brand on the shelves! My only substitution was to use 1/2 cup of heavy cream instead of the half and half, but they turned out fantastic! Mixing the powdered sweetener and cream cheese with vanilla also made for a great icing, it tasted like a spice cake cupcake! Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed the muffins! š
