The following is a list of materials and ingredients you will need to bake your cinnamon roll muffins:
- Eggs, at room temperature: They provide structure, moisture, and help the muffins rise. They're especially important in coconut flour recipes, which need more binding.
- Cream Cheese, at room temperature: Adds richness and a slight tang while helping to create a soft, creamy texture in the batter.
- Unsalted Butter, at room temperature: Gives the muffins flavor and moisture, and contributes to their tender crumb.
- Granulated Sugar Substitute: Used to sweeten the muffins and the cinnamon swirl without adding carbs.
- Coconut Flour: This gluten-free, low-carb flour is the main dry ingredient. It absorbs a lot of liquid, creating a dense yet fluffy muffin texture.
- Sour Cream: Adds extra moisture and richness, helping balance the density of coconut flour.
- Baking Powder: Provides lift and helps the muffins rise slightly during baking.
- Sea Salt: Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: Brings warmth and depth to both the muffin batter and glaze.
- Ground Cinnamon: The key spice in the cinnamon swirl, delivering that classic cinnamon roll flavor.
- Confectioner's Sugar Substitute: Used in the glaze to create a smooth, sweet drizzle without sugar.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Thins out the glaze while adding richness and creaminess.

How To Make Keto-Friendly Coconut Flour Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Start by allowing your eggs, cream cheese, and butter to come to room temperature. This ensures a smoother batter and better mixing.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two muffin pans with cupcake liners. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt, then set the mixture aside.
In a large bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to beat the room-temperature butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
With the mixer on a low setting, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Continue to scrape the bowl occasionally to prevent dry pockets from forming.
Once the batter is mostly combined, switch to a spatula and gently fold in the sour cream. The final batter will be thick and fluffy, which is typical for coconut flour recipes.
In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl by combining ground cinnamon and a granulated sugar substitute. Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter, then sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture over each.
Add the remaining batter on top, filling each cup to the brim.
Place the muffin pans in the oven and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes. Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins bake, make the vanilla glaze by combining a confectioner's sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream in a small bowl.
Once the muffins are done, let them cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before drizzling each one with the glaze. For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit more of the cinnamon mixture over the top.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days, or freeze them for up to three weeks for easy low-carb snacking later on.
Best Sugar-Substitutes
As far as which sugar substitute to use for these sugar-free cinnamon roll coconut flour muffins, I have a few recommendations.
Would you like to save this?
Lakanto Monk Fruit Classic is their white granulated version, and it's my go-to option whenever a recipe calls for granulated white.
It's my favorite since the texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar.
The brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend, also makes a great white granulated sugar substitute. It's a great option that's more accessible to many, as it can be found in most grocery stores now.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a granulated white stevia-based sweetener.
You'll have to use half the amount of Pyure since it's doubly sweet.
Lastly, if you can't easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.
I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect this, but in my book, it's still better than regular sugar.
Plus, I find it doesn't have much of an aftertaste. It's also more economical, so there's that too.

Enjoy the warm, spiced flavor of a cinnamon roll in a soft, low-carb muffin. These keto coconut flour cinnamon roll muffins are grain-free, sugar-free, and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a satisfying snack on a keto diet.
Ingredients
Keto Coconut Flour Cinnamon Roll Muffins
- 8 eggs, room temperature
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar substitute
- 1 ½ cups coconut flour
- ½ cup of full-fat sour cream
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons of granulated sugar substitute
Keto Vanilla Glaze
- ½ cup of confectioner's sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Allow your eggs, cream cheese, and butter to come to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line 2 muffin pans with cupcake liners.
- Next, in a medium-sized bowl combine your coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer or a standup mixer, beat together the room-temperature butter, cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- To this butter and cream cheese mixture add the eggs one at a time. Making sure to scrape the bowl several times.
- To the wet ingredients, slowly add all the dry ingredients to a low mixing setting. Making sure to scrape the bowl a couple of times.
- Once the two mixtures are fully combined, stop using the electric mixer and fold in the ½ cup of sour cream and mix until fully incorporated, but being careful not to over-mix.
- Note that the batter will be very thick and fluffy. This is the normal texture when using coconut flour exclusively in a recipe.
- Make the cinnamon swirl mixture by combining in a small container the cinnamon powder and granulated sugar substitute.
- Fill the prepared muffin pans with half the batter, then sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl over the top of each muffin and then add the remaining batter filling each cup to the brim.
- Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 400 degrees temperature. Then, after 5 minutes reduce the temperature to 350 and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- While the muffins bake, make the vanilla icing.
- Allow the muffins to cool on baking rack for at least 10 minutes before drizzling the top of each muffin with the icing and sprinkling with more of the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days and freeze well for up to three weeks.
Keto Vanilla Icing
- Combine all the sugar-free confectioner's sugar substitute, heavy cream and vanilla extract.
- To the fully cooled cake, add the icing by drizzling it on top of the cake. Sprinkle the top of the glaze with the cinnamon swirl mixture.
Notes
In order to get the perfect round muffin, it's important to fill your cupcake tins ¾ full with the batter. Note that since this is a heavy batter, the cupcakes will not rise too much.
You will also be preheating your oven to 400 degrees then baking for 5 minutes at this temperature. After 5 minutes reduce your temperature to 350 and bake for another 10-15 minutes. This will ensure your muffins have a nice round shape.
