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.
