One of the things you guys asked for was more GRAIN FREE recipes. So naturally my wheels started turning. Today I woke up craving cinnamon buns. The naughty kind from Cinnabon – which then prompted these CINNAMONEY WALNUTTY CHOCOLATEY muffins.
The way I create grain free recipes is by combining coconut flour and eggs. The reason I like this particular combination is because the egg-coconut flour yields a very light and airy muffin that isn’t weighed down by almond flour or anything else. Note, I have only made this recipe with this combo, so I have not tested any other grain free combos. Maybe I will in the future, but for now, I know what I like, so here it is.
One of the things you will find surprising is that to make 6 large muffins, you only need 1/2 cup of coconut flour. Again, the reason is because coconut flour is super absorbent – so no, it’s not a typo when you scan the recipe.
Ingredients
THE BASE:
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 4 eggs
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup non-dairy milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
THE TOPPING:
- 3 tbsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line muffin tin with 6 liners.
- In a mixing bowl, add the ingredients for the muffin base. Mix everything to ensure no clumps, and set aside to thicken.
- Next, in another mixing bowl, add the ingredients for the topping, reserving a small handful of the chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of each muffin later.
- Fill each muffin cup 1/4 way with batter.
- Scoop about 1 tsp of the topping into each muffin cup, then spoon remaining muffin batter on top, and top each muffin with remaining topping mixture. Sprinkle on remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and ENJOY!!!

I would love to make these but was wondering if it’s still the same measurements if i used a GF f’our mix instead?
I thought these were too eggy and not enough flavour. Not bad! but I wouldn’t make again
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that they didn’t turn out well for you, Clothilde.
