In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. You’re looking for a soft, crumbly texture moist enough to press down but not sticky.
Grab your muffin tin and line it with 12 paper liners. (Pro tip: the cuter the liners, the more impressive your little cheesecakes will look. It’s science.)
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of crust mixture into each liner and press it down firmly with the back of your spoon or your fingers. You want a nice, even base that’ll hold up once the filling is added. Pop the tray into the fridge while you make the filling. Let those little crusts chill out for a bit.
