These coconut flour “cinnamon roll” muffins are the perfect keto-friendly treat when cinnamon rolls call your name! Made with all keto-friendly ingredients; these Cinnabon muffins are sure to satisfy your craving.
These Cinnabon muffins are so yummy and are perfect when I’m craving coffee cake or cinnamon rolls.
I originally wanted to create a traditional cinnamon roll rolled out with cinnamon sugar. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to do this with coconut flour without adding in cheese (fathead dough) or added starches/flours.
After several failed attempts, I decided to make Cinnabon-style muffins, with a swirl of cinnamon sugar in the middle and a vanilla glaze on the top.
These muffins are moist and full of cinnamon goodness. If you love cinnamon rolls, you’ll love this recipe!
Cinnabon Muffins FAQ
How do I make this egg-free?
I have never tested an egg-free version of this recipe. You can try replacing the eggs with a “chia egg”, bananas, applesauce or whatever you usually use in place of eggs.
Can I make this recipe paleo-friendly?
Yes, these cinnabon muffins can be made paleo (dairy-free) by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and coconut sugar instead of sweetener. I’ve made them both ways and they taste delicious either way.
Can I freeze these cinnabon muffins?
Yes! Freeze them in an air-tight container or zip bags. To defrost, simply leave them on the counter for a few ours, then store them in the refrigerator afterwards.

Hi Darlene,
The crumble on top of the muffins is the cinnamon-sugar mixture sprinkled on top.

Where are the ingredients for the crumble that goes on top of the muffin?
I’d like to know too 🙂
It’s there, I got the recipe off the website instead of thru email. Good luck. I used egg replacer, and the did not turn out well! Will try again.
Hi Kay, which egg replacer did you use? I find that with coconut flour, eggs are almost always needed to bind the ingredients together. I’ve tried flax and chia eggs in the past and it never turns out.

The crumble on top is the cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture. You spread the rest of it on top of the muffins before baking.

Can you make these with honey?
Yes, you can use honey in the batter mix but I wouldn’t use it in the cinnamon swirl mixture.
