Cinnamon Bun Muffins {almond & coconut flour}

I make 6 muffins using this recipe batter because I like big muffin tops, but you can spread the batter across 8 muffins. Just reduce the baking time about 5 minutes.

My photos show the topping not getting too deep into the muffin, but if you prefer to have the topping threaded throughout the muffin follow the method I've added in the method below.

For dairy-free use coconut oil in the topping and a dairy-free milk or yogurt in the muffin batter, and for SCD use honey.

Instructions

Muffins

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, almond 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 ¼ of the way with batter.
Spoon about a tablespoon of topping over each muffin and then top off each muffin with more batter, about ¾ 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.
