Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
We love muffins in our house and these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are perfect as the weather starts to warm up here in Houston. They are the perfect combination of slightly sweet and the freshness of lemon!
I have to say, I was a bit hesitant that one of my kids wouldn’t eat them just because of the seeds but he gave them a try and said “Wow, these are amazing… can I have more?”
I was happy to say yes and let him eat as many as he wanted.
These muffins are grain free, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free making them a healthy choice for breakfast on the go or an afternoon treat on the side of your afternoon tea. By the way, my favorite tea is Pique Tea… have you tried their teas yet?
If you want them a little sweetener, you can add a glaze:
1/4 cup light honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp coconut butter
Put the above ingredients in a small sauce pan and warm over low heat until honey melts. Stir until mixed together and drizzle over muffins. Let cool and enjoy!
See below for the recipe and to shop the ingredients I used on Amazon.
I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as we do!
