How to Make Cinnamon Roll Minute Muffins

Ingredients

• 5 teaspoons coconut oil, for greasing
• ½ cup coconut flour
• ¼ cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting (optional)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of fine sea salt
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted, not hot
• ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored almond milk, store-bought or homemade (or unsweetened, unflavored hemp milk or full-fat coconut milk for nut-free)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (about 6 inches long)

• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of powdered erythritol or monk fruit
• ¾ teaspoon maple extract or 1 drop of maple oil

1. If using the oven or toaster oven, preheat to 350°F.
2. Because these are best served warm, plan to bake just the number you will be eating. If baking the full amount, grease five 4-ounce microwave-safe cups or ramekins with the coconut oil. (Use ramekins if baking the muffins in the oven.) If baking less than the full amount, follow the guidance in the Single Serving Option below.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Then stir in the eggs, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Divide the batter among the greased cups or ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Dust additional cinnamon over the filled cups, if desired.
5. If using a microwave, cook each cup or ramekin, one at a time, on high for about 1 minute 30 seconds, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. If using a toaster oven, bake one at a time for 8 to 12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. If using the oven, place all of the ramekins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
8. Meanwhile, stir together the ingredients for the glaze, if using.
9. Remove the muffins from the microwave or toaster oven and top each with 1 tablespoon of the glaze, if desired. Eat warm right out of the cup or ramekin.
