A breakfast muffin baked with flaxseed and almond flour is a healthy start to the day.  Flavoured with cinnamon and nutmeg they are packed full of flavour too.

If you want to start your day eating cake, they enjoy a breakfast muffin. These flaxseed muffins are a great way to include flaxseed into your day too. The Chief Taster is not a great lover of flax but still requests these breakfast muffins as an alternative to eggs for breakfast. I think it's the cinnamon and spicy taste though.

Keto Flaxseed Muffins

The texture of these flaxseed muffins are almost wholemeal but with a nice spicy flavour of cinnamon and nutmeg.  I use a lot of spice in this recipe, but feel free to change it to your own taste. Yes, that is a tablespoon of cinnamon. It's not a typo!

I like to add chopped nuts to these breakfast muffins too. The last batch I baked had chopped pecans and were delicious. Walnuts would be great too. Or perhaps a mix of nuts?

If you are looking for a breakfast muffin but are not a fan of flaxseed there are many coconut flour recipes with great muffins for a healthy low carb start to the day.

    These are so good! I have to take iron tablets so...ehemmmm I need flaxmeal. The only change I made was to use 1/2 c skinny girl banana syrup to make a banana muffin! They turned out fantastic! Will be making these all of the time!

      Glad you enjoyed them! I am now on Amazon looking for the banana syrup! (we don't have anything like that in St Lucia).

    The butter part always confuses me! Do I measure half a cup of butter before or after it is melted?

      I cut the butter into pieces and put it in the cup before melting. I don't jam it in though. I guess either way will work since you are using ground flaxseeds that need that extra moisture! Hope you enjoy them!

    These are AMAZING! I added some sugar free chocolate chips and even my picky family members love them. Do you know if these would be considered paleo friendly muffins?

    I’m wondering whether you think a substitution of Tapioca flour for the almond flour would work. I have to have a test done that restricts any nuts for three days and because I basically depend on flax and almond flour for breakfasts I need an alternative.

      I've never baked with tapicoa flour but it might work. You might need to play around with the quantity though.

    I finally made these this past weekend. I cut the cinnamon to 1 tsp, and added all the spices: ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and a splash of vanilla extract. I had some blueberries begging to be used and dumped those in too. Yum!

    These were so filling and delicious! They were moist and not overly sweet, and didn't fall apart like many low carb muffins do. I added a few handfuls of blackberries to the batter. Next time I might add a splash of sugar free maple syrup to enhance the nutty flavor. Thank you for the great recipe. Can't wait to make these again!

    I made these exactly as per your recipe and they were fantastic! I have tried a lot of grain free muffins and breads and these have the best texture of any. I may play around with this one using the basic recipe but mixing up flavours

      Hi again, thought I would share my variation. Because this basic muffin recipe is so good I wanted to have a variation so that I wouldn't get sick of eating the same muffin all the time. I made these again but left out the cinnamon, only used 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, added the rind and juice of one small orange and because of the extra liquid of the orange I added one additional tablespoon of both almond flour and flax flour. Finally I added one half cup of fresh raspberries! They turned out great! This is the first time I have ever tried to alter a recipe so I was quite pleased. So happy I found your recipe ?

    FANTASTIC. My add was to tuck a 1/2 tsp cube of cream cheese in the middle and sprinkle some sweetener on the top before baking. The cream cheese is a nice surprise and the sweetener gives it crunchy top. This goes into my pile of “do again” recipes.
