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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix as it may lead to denser muffins.
Step 5
Fold in the poppy seeds, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 6
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy the muffins while they're still slightly warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
