Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well blended.
Stir in the Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia into the eggs until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
