Special Notes:

1. The coconut milk frosting is optional, however delicious nonetheless. Make this by simply putting a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Open and scoop out all of the solid cream. Add in sweetener of your choice, I like a few drops of stevia and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
2. No sweetener is really needed with the topping (it is optional) and the basic recipe without the honey/maple syrup or stevia still tastes amazing as a topping.
3. Store in fridge until ready to top the muffins.

Dr Jockers Comments:

I know a lot of people who go crazy for cinnamon buns.  Now you can have a much healthier – grain, free version of this American favorite.

This uses grade B maple syrup which is less processed than other forms of maple syrup and is less inflammatory on the body.  The cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and helps to improve blood sugar signaling.  Coconut flour is low in carbohydrates and rich in fibrous prebiotics that feed our microbiome and strengthen our gut lining.

Coconut oil and grass-fed butter provide healthy small and medium chain fatty acids that nourish our microbiome and improve brain function, thyroid health and fat burning.  Your family will absolutely love this recipe!
