About the Recipe

These gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free lemon & poppy seed muffins are the perfect balance of light and indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/4 tsp celtic salt

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

  • dried edible flowers, for decoration

  • Coconut yogurt, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a muffin tray with paper liners or grease with extra virgin olive oil.


Step 2

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on medium high speed for 1–2 minutes until slightly frothy.


Step 3

Switch to the paddle attachment. Add the lemon zest, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix for another minute until well combined.


Step 4

Gradually add the almond flour and baking powder, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides if needed.


Step 5

Fold the poppy seeds into the batter.


Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.


Step 7

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.


Step 8

Let muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a dollop of coconut yogurt and top with dried edible flowers.


Enjoy 💕
