Categories     Breakfast     Dessert     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 large Eggs
3 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1/3 cup Melted Coconut Oil ((note 2))
1/2 cup Granulated Sweetener of Choice (I used sugar-free erythritol (note1))
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 cups Almond Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 tablespoons Poppy Seeds
2 tablespoons Lemon Zest
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Sugar-free Powdered Sweetener
1 tablespoon Melted Coconut oil (or melted butter)
2-3 teaspoons Lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper cases or grease mold with an oil spray if preferred. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar-free sweetener of your choice, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. If you are using cold eggs straight out of the fridge, they will solidify the coconut oil creating oil lumps. Otherwise, use butter to prevent this from happening.
  • Stir in baking powder, almond flour, poppy seeds, lemon zest, salt, and stir gently to incorporate the flour to avoid lumps.
  • Transfer the lemon muffin batter evenly into the 12-muffin cases - about 1/4 cup batter each.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffins comes out clean or with few to no crumbs on it.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then gently transfer onto a cooling rack and cool for 30 minutes to 1 hour before eating. Be patient. They get the best texture at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free and low-carb option: Almond flour is a great alternative to wheat flour for those with gluten sensitivities or those following a low-carb diet. It provides a nutty flavor and a moist texture to the muffins.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor: Fresh lemons provide a bright and tangy flavor to the muffins. If you only have bottled lemon juice, you can use it, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These almond flour lemon muffins are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are gluten-free, low-carb, and packed with flavor. With their moist texture and bright lemon flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
