Steps:
- For the muffins: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Whisk together the almond flour, flax seed meal, coconut, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the coconut oil and confectioners' erythritol sweetener in a separate large bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking to combine. Whisk in the half-and-half and vanilla. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet and whisk until well combined (the batter will be very runny).

Stir together the walnuts, granulated erythritol sweetener and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the batter in the paper liners.

LOW CARB ALMOND FLOUR CINNAMON RAISIN MUFFINS
This is a delicious low carb muffin recipe that can easily be changed to other yummy versions, simply by changing the flavors, such as lemon poppy-seed or orange and dark chocolate chip. This recipe makes four muffins but you can halve it to make 2, or double it to make 8. Very easy. I make my own almond flour from raw nuts in a coffee grinder dedicated to food items, but you can also buy it already ground such as Bob's Red Mill brand.

- Use unsweetened almond milk: This will help keep the muffins low in carbs. You can also use other unsweetened milk alternatives, such as coconut milk or soy milk.
- Add spices for flavor: Cinnamon is the classic spice for muffins, but you can also add other spices like nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom. Spices will enhance the flavor of the muffins and make them more enjoyable.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
