Whether you’re chilling on the couch or prepping for brunch, you gotta head to the kitchen to make these gluten-free cinnamon munchkins right now! They’re a cross between a doughnut and a muffin, so fluffy and moist you won’t believe it! 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup nondairy milk
  • ¼ cup oil (I use coconut/avocado oil)

 Crumb topping:

  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon oil

 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
  3. Gently fold in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a batter forms.
  4. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter into a greased mini muffin tray.
  5. In a food processor, blend the crumb topping ingredients until it looks like wet sand. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crumb topping over each muffin.

Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes until a toothpick slides in and out clean. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
