Cinnamon buns…don’t even get me started on the smell and taste of what has got to be in my top 3 childhood memories. The sensational smell of cinnamon and sugar, and smothering the end product with some butter…gahhh. I want them now. Let’s get on with this slightly modified cinnamon bun recipe.

Purpose

The purpose of this recipe is fairly simple…create a healthier cinnamon bun without any sacrifice in smell or flavour. A simple adjustment in flour, milk, and sugar and you have a snack that is much easier on your digestive system.

Don’t worry…the family will have no clue its healthier and you will look like a baking champion.


Equipment Required
  • Hand blender
  • Muffin tin
Ingredients

Muffin

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (aluminum free)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut syrup

Topping

  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
