Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix as it may lead to denser muffins.
Fold in the poppy seeds, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins while they're still slightly warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
