    gluten free lemon muffins are fluffy, bright and full of delicious flavor. this muffin recipe uses simple ingredients and no processed sugar, making them a perfect way to start your day.

    gluten free lemon muffins on a plate

    there's nothing like waking up to fresh muffins in the morning. however, if they're not being made for you this recipe is the perfect one to make.

    it's a simple recipe so it doesn't take too much time to make. however, that doesn't mean it lacks in flavor! each muffin is bursting with lemon and the poppy seeds!

    the flavor of the muffins are clearly off the charts but the texture is right there with it. the muffins are light and fluffy but also sturdy enough to hold in your hand.

    because no one likes a muffin that falls apart when they pick it up!

    even though summer is coming to an end these are just as tasty in the fall. and for when that lemon craving hits you in the winter. let these muffins be your go-to fix.

    ingredients used to make these muffins

    • gluten free flour
    • sugar
    • greek yogurt
    • egg
    • butter
    • lemon zest
    • lemon juice
    • poppy seeds
    • baking powder
    gluten free lemon muffins ingredients

    flavor and texture

    what is your ideal texture for a muffin? in my opinion, the perfect muffin is light and airy BUT it holds up on it's own.

    these muffins stand tall and don't sink after taking them out of the oven. we all have been there, right?

    and what's the point of a muffin with no flavor? these muffins are full of delicious lemon flavor and bring me right back to my childhood. i always looked forward to the days i would wake up to smelling lemon poppy seed muffins that my mom made.

    both the flavor and texture of these muffins are ideal, creating an enjoyable muffin experience!

    key factors to making these muffins perfect

    1. prepping your muffin tin - make sure you line your muffin tins with greased muffin liners. i use coconut oil spray for all of my sweet recipes.
    2. muffin pan placement - spread the muffins out and don't bake any next to each other. by baking in every other muffin tin, this gives the muffins room to breathe and rise high to create the dome top we all love and want.
    3. lemon zest AND lemon juice - some recipes only call for lemon zest in the recipe. however, by also adding the lemon juice to the batter it really brings that punch of lemon flavor.

    frequently asked questions

    can i use regular all purpose flour instead of gluten free?

    yes, of course! regular all purpose flour will lead to the same result. i do not recommend substituting almond flour, coconut flour or oat flour as that has not been tested.

    what kind of greek yogurt should i use?

    i suggest using plain greek yogurt (full, low or non fat will all work). don't use any flavored greek yogurt as that will obstruct the lemon flavor of the muffin.

    what kinds of milk can be used instead of almond milk?

    you can use any plain / unsweetened milk that you prefer! even regular milk, it does not have to be vegan / plant-based.

    what if i want to make 12 muffins?

    to make 12 muffins just double the measurements of each ingredient. for baking, still bake each muffin in every other tin. the spacing gives the muffins room to breathe and rise. you can do this by baking two trays at once or one at time.

    how should these muffins be stored?

    store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!

    have you tried the shaved egg trend?! if you have have you tried the shaved egg trend?!

if you haven’t, give it a try! it makes the egg texture so light and fluffy when you bite into it. it’s a fun way to switch up your avocado toast for breaky 🍳🥑🍞

all you need to do is make hard boiled eggs then grab a cheese grater. simple and delish!

    i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. day.

not only because its delicious but this protein chocolate cake is good for me too! there is no added flour, just protein powder combined with egg and banana to make the base. 

i used safeandfair chocolate protein powder (that’s also kid friendly) because it adds such a delicious flavor while also sneaking in some veggies! the protein powder has a nice texture, giving you a cake that’s moist and fluffy. 

want the full recipe? send me a message and i will share it with you 🍫🍰
