Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with a Whole30-compliant oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Gently fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Each should be about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
