Cinnamon Bun Muffins {coconut flour}

August 4, 2011 by Erica 233 Comments

Cinnamon Bun Muffin {coconut flour} (1 of 1)

Since I often experiment using almond and coconut flour in baked goods, it seems only fitting that I make cinnamon bun muffins using coconut flour, as an alternative to my earlier gluten-free cinnamon bun muffin recipe using almond flour. Both are great gluten-free flours, and impart different texture and flavor. And there are pros and cons to using each kind of flour, but in the end, it comes down to taste and your body.

Big confession here: I prefer muffins made with almond flour, but I’ll let you be the judge. I generally prefer the texture of almond flour baked goods, but sometimes coconut flour knocks one out of the ballpark for me. And one differentiator for each side of the fence: almond flour costs more, but coconut flour uses more eggs. So if you love what coconut flour offers you, can’t or don’t eat almonds, or enjoy baking with coconut flour, this recipe is for you.

One thing I will note that I do a bit differently here than in the recipe using almond flour – I don’t put the topping in the center of the muffin. I found it wasn’t necessary to do because the topping spread well through the batter when placing it on top. But, it’s up to you. Also, you could lower the amount of sweetener a bit – maybe to 1/3 of a cup and it will still taste good, but not as sweet.

I’m a huge fan of using maple syrup in baked goods, but if you don’t or can’t have maple syrup, use honey. I haven’t tried other sweeteners, but if you do, please share it with us. I love to hear what others do with my recipes! Cooking and baking is a creative process, so don’t hesitate to play with the recipe, or modify it to your taste or needs.

Cinnamon Bun Muffins {coconut flour}

Update 12/13/13: I've reduced the amount of honey or maple syrup from 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup with great success. If you're experiencing an "eggy" texture, I suggest using 1/3 cup of sweetener, or add a bit more coconut flour (up to 1 tablespoon more).
I also updated the technique for dispersing the topping throughout the muffin.
To make this dairy-free, use dairy-free yogurt or milk, and for SCD use honey.
Servings: 8 muffins
Calories: 208kcal

Ingredients

Muffin

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk, yogurt, or other dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

Cinnamon topping

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or ghee or coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Muffin

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4).
  • Prepare a baking pan with muffin liners.
  • For the muffins, combine coconut flour, baking soda, and salt and blend well.
  • Add the eggs, milk, and honey to the dry mixture and blend well by hand, or use a mixer or food processor. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
  • Fill muffin liners about 1/4 of the way with batter.
  • Spoon about a tablespoon of topping over each muffin and then top off each muffin with more batter, about 3/4 of the way filled.
  • Drizzle the remaining topping over each muffin and use a toothpick, fork, or spoon to blend the topping into the batter.
  • Bake for about 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Cool and enjoy! Store for a few days at room temperature (covered), seal and store in the refrigerator for a few weeks, or seal and freeze for a few months.

Topping

  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well-blended.

    I prefer almond flour recipes and have your af version. However I also find recipes combining almond and coconut flours make a great product, and reduce the fat in the recipe. Can you suggest how I might do a combo recipe?

        Hi Erica, this has been a wonderful recipe and sweet treat for me to have as I am supposed to stick to a grain-free for a few months 🙂 Just was wondering is the nutrition information for the muffin batch as a whole, or per muffin?

    Thank you for the recipe, looking forward to trying it. But I would like to try it with Monk Fruit? The monk fruit I have is Buddha Fruit brand. It requires 1 scoop to replace 1 tsp of sugar, the scoop equals 1/32 tsp. Do you have any suggestions on how I could use this monk fruit to replace the honey/maple syrup?
    Thank you,

      I’m not an expert on Monk Fruit brands, but in general you can replace the moisture from honey or maple syrup by using the equivalent amount of water or milk. I also explain how to use Monk Fruit when baking in my Keto book. For this recipe, you can also use sugar-free maple syrup or an equivalent syrup made with Monk Fruit. I haven’t tested it though.

    I made these last night the batter was very liquidy is that normal? Also the cinnamon topping setteled at the bottom for some reason. I used coconut oil but made sure I melted it before mixing and adding to batter.

      It is a bit thinner than most batters. That said, it sounds like it was too thin. Confirm that you used the correct measurements and then maybe reduce the amount of coconut oil or add a bit more coconut flour.

    I made these muffins and they are very good, although they have a wetty texture that I don’t like, they are very sticky on our fingers. Can you tell me what I did wrong? My husband has always been a cinnamon bun fan and he did not have any since 1985, the year he was diagnosed with celiac desease. I must admit he loved these muffins.

      Coconut flour is a bit tricky. It sounds like it might have too much honey or sweetener, since it’s sticky. This recipe is so full-proof though that I would check your measurements again and trying adding another tablespoon of coconut flour if you don’t want to reduce the sweetener. It sounds too wet.

    I tried this recipe with egg replacer—I used 4 flax eggs (1T ground flax seed + 2.5 T water = 1 egg). It didn’t work very well for me, unfortunately…I would stick with real eggs next time. There was barely enough batter to fill 9 muffin tins, and they turned out a bit mushy, without a “bready” texture.

      January 8, 2017 at 6:52 pm

      Yes, I’m not surprised. I wouldn’t use flaxseed with a recipe requiring more than 1 or 2 eggs. You could try splitting the recipe in half.

    I only just found your recipe, I soo much prefer using coconut flour to any nut flours. This recipe is amazing, love the texture. I have decided to us these as a base recipe for my coconut muffins and just keep adding different ingredients to the mix. So far everyone loves all of the ones that I have tried.
    Thanks for a great recipe.

They turned out fantastic and you would never know they’re made with coconut flour or with no white sugar. These are delicious!! I did cut back the honey like you suggested and they are perfection! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!!

    You really nailed it with these! Every time I make something with only coconut flour I’m the only one who will eat them because of that texture! So, I only made one batch. I could have tripled it! We do have eight children, but they were that good! I used raw milk and pecans for the cinnamon mixture. Love that they are sugar-free!

    I wasn’t sure how the banana flavor would work out but it added another dimension of flavor we all loved. We will definitely be making this again! Thank you.

    These were just delicious!!! I am mom to 3 sweet kiddos. Our family tradition for the past couple of years is to have Immaculate Baking Company cinnamon rolls for Saturday morning breakfast. We typically do not eat many sweets or grains during the week, so this was always a special treat for us. Last week we found out my oldest daughter has a gluten allergy. I wanted to find a wheat-free, gluten-free version of our cinnamon roll tradition. These muffins were my first attempt and they were perfect!!! I think they taste better than the cinnamon rolls!!! I am thankful that our first of many hurdles in the gluten-free life has been cleared smoothly! I can’t wait to try out more of your recipes! Thank you!

      I haven’t had great results replacing that many (4) eggs with chia or flaxseed. 1 or 2 eggs are usually ok, but not for this. Now if you want to pair down the recipe it might work, but I haven’t tried it.

I also opted for no nuts, just as a personal preference for the first go at this. I also added topping on top and used a toothpick to swirl it around- it came out well and looked pretty too! I’ll be sure to make these again! Love that this is Real Food. Nothing fake. And Gluten Free and Dairy Free. I used coconut oil and the coconut flour version. Right on! Thank you! ✌️

    I made a batch of these this morning. Followed the recipe exactly, except that I did not have honey, so I had to use Splenda. Nevertheless, these were delicious. Just a tiny bit dry, but it has been almost a month since I had anything even closely resembling a muffin, so I was overjoyed to put this in my mouth! The flavors were awesome. Thank you for the recipe. Next time, will try the honey.

      it was dry because you lost the liquid from the honey or maple syrup. you can try replacing the lost liquid with milk or water.

          ok, I asked because the egg sizes differ in the UK, Europe and elsewhere. You may need to go down one egg, because the jelly-like texture could be too much egg. Or add about 1/2 tablespoon more of coconut flour.

        I use Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips or I also have added the Atkins chocolate candies I recently found. I don’t have a gluten allergy nor do I try to eat paleo. I just am trying to make better eating choices and I LOVE baking so coconut flour has been a savior for me; I can bake sweet things and still be eating good 🙂 I sometimes also add some protein powder to my icing.
        I am about to go bake these again! They were AMAZING!

    Thank you for the updated version! I am also using more coconut flour and this is a nice complimentary flour to the almond flour. Being on the SCD diet- at times consuming too many nut flours can be problematic for me- but the coconut flour is actually a fruit … not a nut- and we love that here in Hawaii. Mahalo!

    Hi!

    I just made these using Greek yogurt. The batter was really thick, almost like a dough, is that right?
    I baked them for 25-30 minutes and they came out quite dense and not at all sponge-like. Have you got any idea what might have gone wrong? Maybe the Greek yogurt?

    It’s a shame as the taste is lovely but the texture doesn’t seem right..

    Any tips?

    Thanks! x

      Sounds like the yogurt didn’t provide enough moisture for the batter. You can either use greek yogurt and add milk or water to the batter, or use a regular yogurt or milk.

    I just started SCD for Colitis and I have been trying to satisfy my huge sweet tooth – this did the trick! I couldn’t find my muffin pan so I used a loaf pan and had to cook it much longer, but it still tasted great. My 3 year old asked if there was pepper in it because it was too spicy 🙂 so maybe next time I will cut back on the cinnamon and add more honey. Thank you! Just ordered your cookbook too!

      you can’t sub wheat flour for coconut flour. Coconut flour is very ‘thirsty’ and requires a lot of liquid, which is why there are so many eggs. The batter will be too thin using any other kind of ‘flour’. It would be best to use a different muffin recipe and then maybe use the topping from this one.

Well almost..I filled the cups a little too high and the topping overflowed and burned on the bottom of the oven smoking out my house 🙂 but most importantly they didn’t ruin the muffins! Yum.

    I just made a gf squash muffin (from the naturally knocked up lady) for the first time combining typical gluten free flours (rice and tapioca) WITH coconut flour AND almond flour. It was AWESOME. It made them taste more normal then other recipes that I’ve tried.

    The rule that I learned is you add an extra egg per ounce of coconut flour and you never sub more than 1/3 of the flour with coconut. I don’t know any rules for almond flour.

    I’m wondering if you’ve experimented putting them together like that. I’m going to keep trying to modify recipes, but I’m hoping that I didn’t get lucky because of the squash…

      1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce = 1 egg
      1/2 a mashed banana = 1 egg
      1 tablespoon flax seed flour or meal mixed with 3 tablespoons warm water = 1 egg
      1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons rice milk or water = 1 egg
      1 teaspoon baking soda + 1 teaspoon cider vinegar (or distilled white vinegar) = 1 egg

    I love these cinnamon muffins! I made them a couple of times already. First time, I thought the honey was too sweet. I also used a blender. The coconut flour gets so thick and it was hard to remove the batter in the blender. Second time, I used maple syrup but only 1/3 cup. And I didn’t have any yogurt, so I substituted it for cottage cheese. Hand mixed it with a wire whisk as well. It turned out great! These muffins are so dense and filling! I can barely finish one without feeling stuffed. But its a good stuffed, not bloated as with other flour muffins. Thank you for this great gluten free recipe 🙂

        Coconut Butter and Coconut Oil are the same thing. The oil is solid at room temperature like butter and when you heat it to 76 it liquefies into oil. I often use the solid coconut oil to spread on my scones instead of butter. Works great.

    These were wonderful! I didn’t have any yogurt so I subbed in coconut milk and they came out super moist and delicious. I also made this 7 minute frosting: http://www.comfytummy.com/2011/04/04/a-better-7-minute-frosting-scd-friendly/ (it’s really just meringue) to put on top and it tasted great with the muffins!

      Great idea with the meringue! Here’s another meringue version on comfy belly: https://comfybelly.wpengine.com/2010/10/ghostly-meringues/

    Which brand of coconut flour did you use? I have had inconsistent results baking w/different brands. When I weighed half cup portions of 4 brands, they each had a different weight. I blogged about this:
    http://www.thehealthycookingcoach.com/2011/05/baking-with-coconut-flour-part-3.html

    I followed your recipe to the T and it took 5 more minutes to test done w/a toothpick and they were still very wet/soft on the bottom. I plan to make the recipe again using a different brand. I’m still curious about which one you used.

    OMG! These look fantastic. I can’t wait to try them. I love baking w/coconut flour. I do some baking w/almond flour too.

    Thanks for the great pictures and recipes.

    I was going to make these today, but my coconut flour just doesn’t smell right. So I tossed it…shew, that’s an expensive toss! How long can coconut flour keep and should it be kept in the fridge? Peace, Pam

      Not sure about the life of coconut flour, sorry. I just recently tossed a bag that smelled bad. Maybe storing it in the fridge would allow it to last longer.

        I keep my coconut flour in the fridge and I’ve never had to throw any away.

        I have these muffins in the oven right now and they smell so good! LOVE your recipes!

          I always keep my coconut flour in the fridge, and have never thrown any away-same with my daughter in law.

            I make my own coconut flour…the pulp that remains after making coconut milk! I spread it thin on a silpat covered baking pan and dry it out in a warm (lowest setting) until crumbly. I run it through a coffee grinder in small amounts and throw it in the freezer. I can’t get it as fine as white flour, but it seems to work well :).

            Deedee…I’m still learning on carb counts…it looks like the majority of the carbs comes from the syrup and/or honey, yes? I’ll have to replace that, but these sound wonderful!

    only 1/2 cup of coconut flour? I know it absorbs a lot of liquid and there are 4 eggs vs 2 in the almond flour…Still seems a bit light on “dry” ?

      Most coconut flour based recipes use VERY little coconut flour and LOTS of liquid. Trust me, it’s best. Coconut flour absorbs tons of liquid and you don’t need much at all. I made these for breakfast this morning and they turned out great, though the cinnamon and butter mixture just kind of dissapeared into the batter, but still tasted wonderful.

    I swear sometimes it’s like you read my mind! 😉 I was drooling over the cinnamon bun muffins with almond flour and wondering if I could make them with coconut instead! My son is allergic to tree nuts, so thank you, thank you for doing the work for me! As a side note, though, I do prefer muffins with almond flour too. But the coconut flour muffins are more cupcake-like, and he seems to like that! 🙂

        Gayle, Have you tried with the egg replacer? Its so hard to find egg free gluten free baked good recipes.

        Instead of an egg replacer since the recipe cala for real food, I’d try applesauce. It works for most recipes. 🙂

            So Wen you can replace eggs with applesauce in recipes? What is the ratio? 1 egg = how much applesauce. I know applesauce keeps things moist but does it bind, that is the question.

              Usually 3 tablespoons applesauce for 1 egg
