- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying with avocado oil.
- In a small mixing bowl, add cassava flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk together till fully combined, set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add maple sugar and shortening. Cream together with a hand mixer until fluffy and well combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Alternate adding one-third of the flour mixture with one-third of the almond milk, mixing well after each addition, until everything is added and well combined. Fill 18 tins three-fourths of the way full. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges just begin to turn brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the muffin tin.
- While muffins bake, prepare the coating. Place melted butter in one small bowl and the maple sugar and cinnamon in another small bowl, stirring to combine.
- Once muffins are cool, dip tops in the melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. If you prefer to dip the entire muffin, you will need to double the ingredients.
- Best the day made, but can be frozen. Store any uneaten at room temperature for up to two days.
