Rachel loves dessert every night and this is one of her favorites. It’s super moist, has great flavor and is loaded with fat and fiber. Whether you’re craving that cinnamon muffin from Dunkin Donuts or a cinnamon roll from the mall, this will satisfy you. It makes for a great breakfast muffin on the go as well as an incredible desert.
Sometimes we get creative and add some cacao nibs to it to give a little extra crunch. Be careful though, it’s highly addicting. Generally we make one of these and split it between the two of us.
You can also make these in a silicone muffin pan and bake them in the oven. Simply change the serving size to 6, mix all the ingredients in a bowl (other than the cinnamon sugar mixture) and divide equally into 12 muffins. Then stir in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degree for about 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

- Microwave for 90 second to have a gooey center and 2 minutes for a firm muffin.

Notes
- Adjust for Richness: Coconut oil is 100% fat, whereas butter contains about 16% water. You may find the texture slightly more "oily," so consider adding an extra teaspoon of coconut flour if the batter looks too thin.
- Salt Balance: Since you lose the salt naturally found in salted butter, add a tiny pinch of sea salt to the mix to enhance the flavors of the cinnamon and allulose.
- Flavor Shift: Expect a subtle tropical note that replaces the traditional dairy richness—this pairs beautifully with the flaxseed for a nuttier finish.
