Cinnamon Raisin Coffee Cake Paleo Muffins {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}

Sharing is caring!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of AllWhites® 100% Liquid Egg Whites. The opinions and text are all mine.





These paleo muffins are loaded with cinnamon flavor, studded with juicy raisins and topped with the perfect cinnamon crumble! Make them with your kids for a fun breakfast treat or snack – they’re grain free, dairy free, refined sugar free and delicious!

It’s been muffin mania over at my house recently, and no one’s complaining! There are lots of reasons to love muffins, and it’s even better when we switch it up a bit from the typical banana chocolate chip or blueberry muffins. Soft and tender muffins with tons of flavor and an addicting crumb topping? Check! Oh, and they happen to be made of good for you ingredients, too. BIG WIN! For my kids, and for me!

 

The idea for these muffins came from both my readers and my kids. I recently received so much positive feedback on my hearty paleo cinnamon raisin bread, which also happened to be one of my kids’ favorites, too. I often ask them for recipe advice (it helps, A LOT!) and when I mentioned making a muffin version of the cinnamon raisin bread, they were completely on board.

When I turned the bread into muffins though, I made a few changes that really made them shine!

First I decided the muffins HAD to have a crumb topping. Okay fine, the kids made that decicion for me. I used a topping similar to my blueberry muffins, but included finely chopped pecans (you can use walnuts too) for extra nuttiness and crunch. It just felt RIGHT with all that warm cinnamon flavor and juicy raisins. This is a great afterschool snack that the kids can help make on Sunday, and then enjoy after school all week!

The second change I made was using AllWhites 100% Liquid Egg Whites in place of whole eggs. While I typically use whole eggs in my quick bread and muffin recipes, I thought it would be a great idea to experiment with incorporating liquid eggwhites into one of my favorite snack recipes.

AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites has so much to offer for your baked goods, smoothies and more! AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites is a convenient source of lean protein – ideal for providing you the energy you need for everyday. You can use them in baked goods or whipped up into smoothies (and everything in between!) and they’re so versatile. Additionally, AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites:

  • Contains 100% real liquid egg whites
  • Rich in protein
  • Less than 1% carbohydrate content
  • Each serving contains 5 grams of protein, 0 grams of fat and 25 calories
  • Pasteurized for safety. You can enjoy AllWhites uncooked, in salad dressing recipes, shakes, smoothies, desserts like tiramisu and more, without concern for food borne illness.

Ingredients

For the Muffins:

  • 3/4 cup AllWhites® 100% Liquid Egg Whites
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 2/3 cup creamy almond butter unsalted
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 4 tbsp blanched almond flour
  • 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp coconut oil soft
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a muffin pan with parchment liners.
  2. Make the crumb topping frist: combine all ingredients in a medium bowl using a pastry blender or fork to creat a thick crumbly mixture. Chill while preparing muffin batter.
  3. Combine the almond flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl, set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, applesauce, almond butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in the dry ingredients, careful not to overmix, then fold in the raisins.
  4. Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 cup muffin pan, filling each 3/4 of the way. Sprinkle the top with a layer of the crumb topping, using all of it.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins. Enjoy!

    Our kids generally eat whatever is on hand. If there are apples in the fridge, they eat those. If there are snack cakes in the cupboard, they eat that. I thing as long as it is sweet, they are happy to have it.

    I found these on All White’s website while I was looking for another recipe and I’m glad I found these instead! They were amazing! I rarely eat any baked goods I make after a few days (I have a habit of getting sick of them!) but these were definitely the exception. I popped them in the fridge and had one for breakfast or lunch every day until they were gone. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe! Also, don’t skip the raisins – they make them even more delicious!

    So delicious. Thrilled I can enjoy an old favorite taste (coffee cake!!) as a gluten & dairy free eater now due to endo. Do you store leftovers loosely covered, or refrigerated? Thanks so much for all of your recipes.
