Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.

To make the muffins, in a food processor, combine the butter, cream cheese, erythritol, eggs, vanilla, almond milk, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix thoroughly. Divide the dough between the prepared muffin tins.
