Muffins are a staple in our household, the kids love them, the problem is store-bought muffins are sugar bombs.
These lemon poppyseed muffins are super moist and soft, have a nice crunch from the poppy seeds and golden crust. Living a healthier keto(ish) lifestyle doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy baked goods.
You just have to be aware of how many carbs you are adding to your mix. In this recipe, we have used almond flour–a great substitute for regular flour.
Give these Lemon Poppyseed Muffins a try next time you feel like baking. Also, you can store these muffins in the freezer and heat them up whenever you feel like an extra zesty treat!
