Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

This is an adaptation of a Martha Stewart wedding cake. 

The unique part of these is the fact that there are chunks of lemon in it

Prepare 2 lemons by
1-zesting
2-scooping out the inside and mixing that part with a little flour
3-juicing the remaining bit of lemon 

In a mixing bowl 
1 1/3 c flour (sorghum works well)
1 t xanthan gum
1 t baking powder 

Mix together then add
2/3 c sugar
Zest from the lemons (2)

Combine then add one at a time
1/3 c coconut milk (or whatever)
3 eggs
5T oil or melted butter
Lemon juice
Chunked lemon pieces
3T poppyseeds 

Bake at 350 until done (if mini muffins it is about 15 min)

  1. These were delicious, boasting a rich tang and moist texture. I used America's Test Kitchen GF flour mix in which I blended from this source and omitted the milk powder to ensure it was dairy free as well.

    I added 5 drops of lemon essential oils to boost the flavor of the batter and I'd recommend zesting another lemon, adding a few drops of lemon oil and sugar to create a nice topping on the batter before baking. Lovely
