Ingredients

Coconut flour is a great Paleo baking flour. In addition, this flour is Nut Free. Since coconut flour is extremely absorbent, it’s important to let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing and before baking. Read more about coconut flour in my Guide to Gluten Free Flours.

Coconut sugar or maple sugar can be used in these muffins.

Rich in manganese and antioxidants, these little seeds add the perfect texture to these Paleo lemon poppy seed muffins.

Baking soda is the leavening agent used to help these muffins rise.

The juice and zest of one lemon adds a pop of flavor.

Almond milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk will work well!

Four eggs give these muffins the perfect cake like texture and rise.

I suggest using a light flavored oil, such as light olive oil.

Melted coconut butter acts as the perfect glaze!
