Cinnamon Mocha Low Carb Muffins

Cinnamon Mocha Muffins

Yes, I know this pairing may sound strange to some of you, but if you are a cinnamon lover you have got to try this combo! Inspired by Mexican hot cocoa and my love for coffee and chocolate these muffins have a unique and delicious twist! 

Anyone who has been around me when I drink my coffee knows I’m obsessed with cinnamon paired with coffee, and most who have spent much time around me at all know I’m really just obsessed with cinnamon in general.

And why not?

Cinnamon is not only delicious and pairs well with many flavors, but it’s also good for the immune system, is an anti-inflammatory, and some say it even helps with blood sugar spikes.

The internet is full of reasons of why you should eat cinnamon. While I question the credibility of some of the claims, as it is not a cure-all like some believe, it is with no doubt good for you and has many positive qualities!

So often we eat something simply because it tastes good, but when it tastes good and helps you live a better life why wouldn’t you indulge?

Mölk is another element of these muffins that not only contributes to the flavor and fluffy texture, but it also is packed full of healthy ingredients designed to help you get after it.

Clean protein, sweetened with monk fruit, digestive enzymes, and probiotics are just a few of the many reasons I use Jocko Mölk in almost every one of my recipes.

Oh, and did I mention it tastes legit on its own???

However, just using some of it in your baked goods is not going to provide you with the minimum daily recommended amount. (Unless of course you eat the whole batch) ;-). 

A minimum of a scoop a day is my targeted amount, and on days I’m really needing to up my protein game I have two scoops plus a protein muffin or two. 😉

How to Make Cinnamon Mocha Muffins

If you’ve baked much at all you probably already know the drill, as this recipe is pretty simple and straightforward.

Begin by preheating your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and either grease your muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl combine all your dry ingredients. ( Sweetener, almond flour, cocoa, protein powder, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and espresso powder)

Mix all of these together with a whisk until they are evenly mixed.

Next add the eggs, vanilla, cream, and coffee to the mix. Whisk again until well blended and you have a smooth creamy batter.

Add the chocolate chips to the batter, and mix until they have been evenly distributed.
