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).
- 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.

Tips:
- Utilize ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for additional sugar. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a day or two.
- Choose whole wheat flour or a blend of flours: Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients to the muffins, making them more filling and wholesome. You can also use a blend of flours, such as whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and oat flour, to create a unique texture and flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Fold in the flaxseeds and nuts gently: To prevent the flaxseeds and nuts from sinking to the bottom of the muffins, fold them into the batter gently at the end.
- Use a muffin pan with liners or grease it well: This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the muffins, so keep an eye on them during baking.
