Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 6 paper liners or grease the muffin cups with a bit of coconut oil or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vanilla extract, melted coconut oil or butter, almond milk, and sweetener. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Evenly divide the batter among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins as a quick breakfast, snack, or treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
