Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (about 192g), finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (from 2 medium lemons)
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (60ml)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (80ml)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons poppyseeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppyseeds until well combined.
  3. Zest 2 lemons carefully avoiding the white pith and squeeze ¼ cup fresh lemon juice.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then add honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  8. Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add 1 tablespoon almond milk or milk of choice to loosen. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins. Almond flour browns quickly; watch muffins closely near end of baking. Use fresh lemon zest and juice for best flavor. For vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
