Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins as a delicious low-carb treat with your morning coffee or as an afternoon snack.
