Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Coconut sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to eliminate any lumps.
Melt the coconut oil in a separate small bowl, then whisk in the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously over the tops of the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your paleo cinnamon sugar morning buns!
