Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup lemon juice + zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the glaze (optional):
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients (oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, baking powder and baking soda). Whisk to combine.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients (maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice, almond milk, almond extract and salt). Whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a muffin pan, bake the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and muffin springs back when touched.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before drizzling the glaze, if using.
- To make the glaze, add the confectioners sugar and lemon juice to a small bowl. Mix until sugar is dissolved and glaze is smooth. Add more lemon juice or sugar until desired texture is reached. Drizzle on top of the muffins.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to a few months.
Notes
- Before transferring batter to muffin tins, you want the batter to look “fluffy”. This will result in a lighter texture that has some rise in the middle.
- These muffins are very delicate, so let cool completely before removing from muffin pan.
