Paleo Cinnamon Bun Muffin Recipe
Paleo Cinnamon Bun Muffin Recipe
I have been on the biggest mission to make healthy, yummy Cinnamon buns. I love everything cinnamon buns. Serioulsy they are amazing, but you just can't find anything healthy and yummy, so I wanted to make my own.
Now, This recipe took me so many tries it wasn't even funny. Yes, I completely lost count. I tried different flowers, different amounts of baking soda, cinnamon, etc. It took quite awhile for me to get this one just right. I wanted if fluffy not dense and flat like most paleo recipes. I wanted it sweet and a nice cinnamon flavor, but not fake sweet. I guess you can call me picky ; )
Eventually I got it just right. You guys these are a must! You can even make them into doughnuts if you have a doughnut pan.
