This amazing Paleo Cinnamon Bun Muffin recipe is the perfect shortcut for a healthy cinnamon roll and makes a delicious breakfast treat! One of my favorite readers Courtney recently suggested that I create a gluten free cinnamon roll recipe. She said it would be perfect for Christmas morning. Since we're smack in the middle of Hanukkah that wasn't something I had thought about. Thanks Courtney!

So, here's my Paleo Cinnamon Bun Muffin recipe. I hope you all enjoy it during the holidays.

    One of my favorite periodicals, The Christian Science Monitor just ran a Best Cookbooks of 2009 article mentioning The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, what a delight to find my book in there.

    And in television news, I was on two shows today (demoing recipes from my gluten free cookbook) the first show was Good Day Colorado and the second, Daybreak on the Deuce. You can watch both appearances below.

    Finally, to top these muffins off, stay tuned for my next post with my yummy gluten free Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.

    2. Just wondering how well your muffins and breads turn out substituting flax eggs instead of eggs. Or have you tried other substitutions that work out better? I need to eat: dairy, egg, grain, soy, and bean free.

      I love your recipes. I have the “the gluten free Almond Flour cookbook” And they were my first successful, as in I would love to eat this, baking when I had to change to gluten free. Now i’m Also egg free so missing some of my favorites. I have substituted flax eggs when there are only 1 or 2 eggs in a recipe, not sure how to sub when more eggs are required. I would love any suggestions! Thank you

    4. Hi there
      I have loved your recipes for years. Wondering if you still have the nut free version of these muffins available?
      Thank you!
