Low Carb Cinnamon Recipes

Delicious with a cup of tea. You can reduce the calories (and carbs by using Splenda or another sugar substitute but increase to 3/4 cup)

I credit this recipe with saving my diet! And each muffin only contains about 5g of Net Carbs (net carbs is total carbs - fiber.)

It’s hard to find a recipe for a low carb muffin that actually tastes good. For this reason, I created the Cinnamon-Chia Muffins! They have a delightful and mild nut and bean flavor with a light texture – as well as the added bonus of nutritional benefits! The 2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds give the muffins its voluminous quality – and makes them super healthy. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language and the Aztec warriors received great energy and stamina by eating these seeds. Today’s distance runners use it for its endurance qualities. These muffins are also made with soy flour, giving them a high protein content which helps build and maintain muscles. You also get a BIG muffin for 9.9 carbs with over 50% of the carbs coming from fiber! Fiber makes us feel full sooner and stays in our stomach longer! The best benefit of all is that fiber moves FAT through our digestive system faster which means we absorb less FAT.

If you like variety, the Cinnamon-Chia Muffins are great to have on hand for breakfast or snacks – and even dessert. My favorite way to eat them is by gently pulling out serving bites – piece by piece, starting at the top. The muffins freeze and warm up perfectly!

High Protein, Low Carb Mini Muffins

These are sort of like macaroons but there's no coconut flakes, just coconut flour. You can't really taste the cinnamon but it gives the cookies a little more intense flavor. You can add more spice if you want a more "Mexican chocolate" style of cookie.

Added for my own calc. A bit dry but working on it.

This low carb spaghetti squash muffin has excellent flavor, and very moist. Only 6.9 grams of net carbs.

This is the coffee that I drink every morning. The recipe is formulated for a 5-cup coffee maker but each serving is one cup of coffee, so even if you make it with a larger one, then it'll be the same.

These are make without a nut meal of any kind, so they taste more authentic to me. I use Vanilla protein powder as that's what I had, but feel free to experiment. This makes 2 small pancakes or 1 large (7-8") pancake.

These pancakes are a healthier (occasional) indulgence for all of you looking for a lower carb alternative to tradition pancakes! They do have gluten (Maple Grove Farms mix), but I imagine they can be made gluten free by substituting with more flax meals, or perhaps some coconut flour. I find the blend of flours gives a pretty authentic texture. These pancakes are a bit thinner than your traditional wheat flour pancakes, and you can even thin them out more with an extra 1/3 cup of water for crepes.

Wow, this is tasty stuff! I love to put a tablespoon on top of a warm low-carb pancake or muffin. Very decadent yet perfect for a lower carb way of life. You gotta try this if you want to feel indulged while cutting out unhealthy simple carbs and unhealthy fats (read the label on Cool Whip sometime, and promise me you'll never eat it again!)

I did not have the powdered erythritol or liquid sweeteners used in the original recipe so I substituted packets of Truvia and Splenda.

Low(er) Carb Cinnamon-y muffins

Quick to make - crispy topping

This is a great quick breakfast for those eating low carb diet. These can be frozen, warmed in the microwave, and dressed up with toppings. They are mildly sweet and cinnamony in flavor. If you like them more tender, leave off the psyllium powder. You can drizzle your favorite low carb extras on top for a great churro treat. I like brushing chaffles with a little butter, then sprinkling
a mix of 3/4 tsp cinnamon to 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (Serve Confectioners) per 2 chaffles. This topping is NOT included in the nutritional information!
