So when it comes to healthy baking I have to admit that muffins are usually one of my go to's....
Always, always experimenting & looking for fresh tasty ways to switch em up.
Cause muffins are just the perfect snack or grab & go breakfast.
And since I'm all about easy, healthy tasty food...
Then muffins are just one of those things that happen to make my life a little easier.
Why muffins are a good choice for breakfast and snacks?
- They're easy to prepare
- You can customize them according to what you like
- Can be made ahead and frozen...
- So you'll always have healthy snacks available
- Kid friendly
- Portable and perfect for lunch boxes
- You control the ingredients... including the amount of sugar, carbs, etc.
And since you don't have to compromise flavor to achieve that then....
You can easily prepare a yummy muffin to your family's liking and food allergies.
Ingredients needed for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:
- Almond & Coconut Flour
- Poppy seeds
- Lemons
- Eggs
- Coconut oil- unrefined
- Coconut milk
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Baking soda
Can I substitute any of these ingredients?
I wouldn't recommend substituting the flour since you'll end up with a totally different texture based on the flour used.
Coconut flour can be really tricky to bake with since it tends to absorb a lot of liquid.
But you could easily swap out the milk with another non-dairy milk such as almond or cashew milk.
And the sweetener could also be swapped out with honey.
Can I make a double batch and freeze these muffins?
Yes, yes, and yes.. 😉
Definitely freezer friendly, so if you're planning on keeping them longer then a week I'd suggest popping them in a freezer safe container.
