Ingredients

Dry

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds

Wet

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp finely grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Lemon glaze

  • 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, monk fruit, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, 1/4 cup lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  5. Divide evenly among the 12 liners and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake 20 to 24 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool 10 minutes in the tin, then move to a rack. Whisk the powdered monk fruit and 1 tbsp lemon juice into a thick glaze and drizzle over the cooled muffins.
Tip: Zest the lemons before you juice them. It is much easier, and the zest carries most of the lemon flavor.
Dad jokeWhy did the lemon poppy seed muffin get invited to every party? Because it was always poppin'.
