Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups almond flour; 1/3 cup flax seed meal; 2 tablespoons toasted finely shredded coconut; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted; 1/2 cup confectioners' erythritol sweetener (see Cook's Note); 5 large eggs, at room temperature; 1/2 cup half-and-half, at room temperature; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped; 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol sweetener; 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature; 2 tablespoons heavy cream; 2 teaspoons confectioners' erythritol sweetener

Directions

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).
Using a measuring cup or cookie scoop, divide the batter among the paper liners (they each should be slightly more than three-quarters full). 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.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the muffins to a wire rack fitted inside a baking sheet to cool completely.
For the cream cheese icing: Whisk together the cream cheese, cream and confectioners' erythritol sweetener in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds to loosen. Drizzle over the cooled muffins before serving.

Cook’s Note

Erythritol, a sugar substitute, can be found in most health food stores or online.
