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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 5
Gently fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Each should be about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
