Easy Low Carb Keto Cinnamon Muffins
When you ask someone on the standard American diet what they’ll have on Christmas morning, most will say those canned Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. But for anyone following a keto diet or low sugar lifestyle, that’s not an option.
That’s why I created this Keto Cinnamon Roll Muffin recipe—all the flavor of a warm cinnamon roll, but in an easy-to-make low carb muffins version.
No rolling required! These bake up golden brown, soft, and topped with a sugar free cinnamon sugar and creamy icing.
And with just 6 g net carb per muffin, they fit perfectly into a keto muffin recipe rotation for breakfast or dessert. All nutrition facts can be found at the bottom of this page on the printable recipe card.
If you’re looking for an authentic keto cinnamon rolls recipe I do have one that is fabulous but a lot more work then making these cinnamon roll keto muffins.
Here is my fabulous Keto Cinnamon Roll Recipe for those of us on a low carb diet and I would dare say they taste even better than any store bought.
The reviews for those rolls speak for themselves as well with many many positive comments. The only deal with them is they do require a few steps to make the dough and roll.
Sugar Free Cinnamon Roll Muffin Recipe
Think of these as a mock cinnamon roll. Once topped with cream cheese frosting or a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, no one will even miss the swirl.
- Dry ingredients and wet ingredients are mixed separately, then combined in a large bowl.
- Bake them in a muffin tin lined with muffin liners until golden brown.
- Top with the cinnamon “sugar” mixture and creamy icing.
They’re also freezer friendly if stored in an airtight container—a great way to have a delicious breakfast or dessert ready ahead of time.
Sugar Free Cream Cheese Icing
This smooth keto cream cheese frosting is made with monk fruit sweetener (or allulose, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. It’s silky and low carb—no gritty texture, just the perfect topping for these keto cinnamon roll muffins.
Pro tip: if chilled, bring the icing back to room temperature before spreading or warm briefly in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate.
These keto friendly cinnamon roll muffins are the ultimate delicious treat—perfect for anyone living a keto lifestyle or just looking for a low sugar, high protein muffin that fits into midlife macros and keeps you satisfied.
The trick to making them look more like cinnamon rolls is after baking in their own muffin cup, remove and add to pie plate! Top with icing and you’re done!
It’s certainly no work of art to add icing gracefully. It’s supposed to be a hot mess right? I think that’s what everyone loves about them!
