Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon zest. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia until smooth and well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be a bit thick.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy, sugar-free lemon muffins!
