Oh hey muffin hey. Yep, I’m on a muffin kick if you couldn’t tell. Last week I went just muffin tops, if you do recall. But NOWWWSKI, now I’m doing the whole shebang. Muffin top AND bottom, y’all! Brace yourself…
These cinnamon crunch muffins are so addicting and good, I can’t tell you enough how in lurrve I am with them. They’re absolute perfection with a cup of coffee and they have a cinnamon, caramel flavor that is out. of this. world.
So let’s make some Cinnamon Crunch Muffins, or watch me make them in the video above. If you dig what you see, I’d be honored if you check out my other YouTube videos and subscribe to be a part of my little YouTube fam #shamelessplug 🙂 But like, for real, it’s a fun time.
Muffins are one of those foods that everyone loves. From younglings to the oldies, muffins are a crowd pleaser. So, let’s give the people what they want and make some Cinnamon Crunch Muffins!!
First, mash your bananas in a large bowl. Add the eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Whisk everything together until combined.
Add the almond flour, 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk again until all combined.
Finally, fold in 1 cup of the granola.
Line your muffin tins and scoop the batter in until almost full.
Optional but recommended: In a separate bowl, stir together the rest of the granola, melted vanilla ghee, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top the muffins with this mixture and bake for 20 minutes.
The heaviness of the toppings makes the muffins a bit concave which normally would bum me out. Glass half full? They taste so good that I don’t even care about their nontraditional muffin top AND it’s a perfect little bowl for nut butter! mwahaha

Yay!! Thanks girl!! They’re definitely my new favorite breakfast (and snack, and everything)!! xo
Adair says
Just made these! So good! I didn’t have any granola so I used 3/4 chopped walnuts and 1/4 maple surgared pumpkin seeds. I topped the muffins with some more pumpkin seeds. I love how easy these were for the reward.
Lindsay says
Ah I love just using nuts and seeds instead of the granola! Sounds so delish! I’m so happy you liked them!! xo

Abby says
Can you use normal flour (vs. almond)? And if so, how much? Same as the almond amount?
Lindsay says
Hi Abby!
Yep – regular flour should work as a 1:1 sub for the almond flour. Let me know how you make out!!
