Healthy Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- Juice of 1 medium lemon
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 f/160c
- In a small bowl combine the coconut flour, baking soda, poppy seeds, and lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl combine the lemon juice, coconut oil, honey, almond milk, eggs. You can place the eggs in a bowl of warm tap water for a few minutes to help warm them up quickly. This will ensure that your muffin batter will be runny, and will easily mix and pour into the muffin cups. (Otherwise the coconut oil may harden and won't mix evenly into the batter.)
- Combine the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients.
- Pour the batter into muffins tins and bake at 325f/160c for 20 - 25 minutes.
Notes
coconut oil must be melted or the batter will be dry

Mine wasn’t either. I put my mixture in the microwave for thirty seconds and it got the runny consistency. I think it’s just the coconut oil being weird during the winter months.

Mine was not a runny consistency in the slightest. It clumped up and acted like over saturated bread. I think the coconut oil is solidifying because it’s so cold out, so I put mine in the microwave to see if that would help. It did, but maybe something to make during the summer months? Either way they tasted delicious
