yummy yummy yummy… enjoy this treat! We sometimes buy sticky cinnamon bread at the farmers market and this is the alternative for Clara.
this recipe is adapted from here.
Ingredients
Muffins
1.5T (21g) Greek yogurt, Fage Total Classic
1T (15g) Walden Farms pancake syrup
1/2 (25g) egg
1/4C (28g) almond flour
1/16t (0.3g) sea salt
1/8t (0.6g) baking soda
1T (14g) butter, softened
Cinnamon topping
1/2T (3g) ground cinnamon
1T (15g) Walden Farms pancake syrup
1/2T (7g) european style butter, melted
1T chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Mix all the dry ingredients for the muffins. Mix all the wet ingredients for muffins and combine well with the dry ingredients.
Mix the cinnamon topping ingredients together and set aside.
in a greased mini muffin pan, pour the batter half way up. add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon topping in the center, then pour the muffin batter to 3/4 way to the top. if you are using walnuts, you can top it at this time (i left it out since clara doesn’t like the texture with it). pour rest of the toppings on top. give it a little stir with a toothpick.
Bake at 325F (preheated) for 15-17 minutes.
Great bllog

I made this, and they came out awesome! I made the following changes: Instead of yogurt I used sour cream(whole fat daisy). Instead of the maple syrup, I used 1g of liquid stevia(1g in muffin batter and then 1g in cinnamin mixture). In the muffin recipe, I increased butter to 30g, and in the cinnamin mixture I increased butter to 14g. Thanks for the great recipe Tiffany! 🙂 Doing this, they are 3.8:1. 🙂
If I leave out the walnuts, is this still 2:1 ratio? Thank you!
i left walnuts as optional, so didn’t calculate it into the ratio. the ratio 2:1 is without walnuts. hope that helps…
This is an excellent recipe! I make these every week for my daughters school snack (for about 4 months now!!!)! For variety I change around the flavors of the syrup. Strawberry-caramel, strawberry-chocolate, chocolate-marshmallow, etc. So many different combinations are possible – which makes it nice for me – she doesn’t get tired of them! If you fill the muffin tin up halfway with the muffin mix, put the topping on next, then add a bit more muffin mix they taste almost like filled doughnuts! Thank you!!!!
Could I use coconut flour instead of almond flour for this recipe?
Gia,
It should be fine to sub the almond flour with coconut flour. However, coconut flour tends to soak up all the liquid, so you might want to try starting with 2T of it and slowly add more if needed. You might need to play around with it a bit to find the right amount to replace. the thickness should be similar to any other cake batter. Let us know how it goes!
[…] I was craving cinnamon rolls, and so found a recipe HERE from the Keto Cook’s Blog. […]
These were delicious! I didn’t have yogurt so I used sour cream instead which I realizes might change the specs just a little bit. Thank you for the recipe!
I’m so glad the recipe worked out for you! clara gets excited just smelling the cinnamon baking =)
I need to lower the ratio for this also could I add applesauce and if so will it change consistency too much if so what should I take out?
this is currently at 2:1. if you need to lower the ratio, i would try lowering the butter in the batter, and increasing the yogurt. omitting the butter in cinnamon topping might help too but since you are not using the WF syrup, that might not be possible, unless you just mix in the cinnamon into the batter.
i usually don’t use apple sauce in my baking since i don’t like the rubbery texture it gives but i never tried it with almond flour, so maybe you can tell me how it turns out! another reason i don’t use apple sauce for keto baking is because they are high in carb, and i want to lower the carb as much as possible so clara can eat more of it. she is only allowed 10-15g of carb per day.
let me know how you modify the recipe and how it turn out. i’m sure it will be helpful for other moms.
Thanks so much Tiffany for the tips I will have to try it out! Funny how everyone’s tastes/textures are different I have always like applesauce because it makes baked goods so moist. As for the higher carb Josie actually gets a lot of carbs a day so that isn’t a concern….Thanks though for thinking of that! Will let you know either way when I get the chance to try these!
We don’t use any of the Walden Farms products because it’s not all natural and half of the ingredients we don’t know what they are…..do you have any suggestions as to what we could use in place of the syrup? Hope you can help….Thanks!
For the batter, you can leave out WF syrup and increase the yogurt and butter and add Truvia, or any sweetener you like to use for your child. for the cinnamon mix, leave out the syrup and add Truvia or any other sweetener you normally use. hope this helps!
