Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

3. In a medium bowl, combine almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth.

4. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.

5. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon swirl ingredients until you get a smooth paste.

6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter, add a small dollop of the cinnamon swirl, then top with more batter.

7. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through each muffin.

8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Drizzle with optional glaze once muffins are cooled.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the muffins light and fluffy.

Let the muffins cool before glazing to avoid the glaze melting off.

You can double the cinnamon swirl for extra richness if desired.
