How to Make Keto Cinnamon Muffin Step by Step
Making this Muffin is simple and beginner-friendly, even if you’re new to keto baking.
Step 1: Prep the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F (electric) or 160°C / 320°F (fan). Line your muffin pan with muffin cups.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and chopped pecans. Mix evenly.
Step 5: Combine & Fill

Step 6: Add Pecan Crunch
- Mix all streusel ingredients and sprinkle generously over each Keto Cinnamon Muffin.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
