Why Should I Make This Recipe?

• First off, these muffins are so easy to make. You can literally just throw the ingredients in the blender and blend!
• Secondly, this recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, grain free, flourless, soy free, paleo and refined sugar free. 
• The creamy almond butter combined with the fresh lemon juice and zest is so good, the poppyseed crunch is the icing on the cake.
• These muffins just scream Summer and Spring just like my Lemon Raspberry Flourless Muffins. 
• This recipe only requires 10 minutes of hands-on time which means it’s a great recipe to make when you want something from scratch but do not have much time. 
• This recipe is completely from scratch, no processed ingredients here!
• These muffins freeze super well which means you can easily batch bake them. 
• These flourless muffins are super kid friendly too. 

Ingredients: 

• Almond butter-Make sure it is creamy. I love the almond butter from Costco. The only two ingredients are almonds and salt. I have also found it is the most economical brand in terms of what you get for your money! Make sure whatever brand you buy is clean-no additives. 
• Eggs-This helps bind everything together. 
• Banana-This adds some sweetness and also holds things together too. 
• Poppyseeds-A must!
• Lemons-Make sure you both juice and zest your lemons, this is what will give these muffins so much flavor. 
• Maple syrup-To sweeten the muffins.
• Apple cider vinegar and baking soda-These are my go to leveling agents in baking. They help these muffins rise.

How To Make:

• First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
• Next, Place all ingredients in the blender except for the poppyseeds. 

• Blend the muffins until smooth. Once blended, add in the poppyseeds and mix throughout. 

• Then, either line your muffin pan with muffin liners or skip if you are using a silicone muffin pan. 

• Divide up the batter between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes or until you can stick a fork in the muffins and they come out clean. 
• Allow the muffins to sit for 10 minutes prior to serving. 

Recipe Frequently Asked Questions:

• What Kind Of Muffin Pan Do You Use?

  • I like using either a regular muffin pan with muffin liners OR a silicone muffin pan. The silicone ones are so simple to clean and pop right out. 

• Can I Freeze These Muffins?

  • Absolutely, however be sure you use the silicone muffin pan instead of a regular pan. The paper liners will get broken down in the freezer. 

• Can I Make These Into Mini Muffins?

  • Absolutely! I love this little mini silicone muffin pan.

Chef’s Tips:

• Be sure to fold in your poppyseeds rather than put them in the food processor, the food processor will break them down. 
• Do not forget to let your muffins set and sit for 10 minutes prior to serving.
