Servings: 12 muffins 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup honey
- ¾ cup plain yogurt (substitute non-dairy yogurt, for dairy-free; May also use sour cream)
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or other light-tasting oil)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 ¼ cups 1:1 gluten-free flour (311g; we recommend Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour or King Arthur Measure-for-Measure)
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
Optional Lemon Glaze (omit for no-refined sugar)
- 1 medium lemon, juiced and zested
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk of choice (use non-dairy milk for dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners (we recommend using reusable liners such as these) or generously spray the pan with cooking spray then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, yogurt, oil, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- To the wet mixture, add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the poppy seeds.
- Evenly fill 12 muffin wells with the muffin batter. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Place the muffin pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the muffins from the pan to the wire rack to cool completely.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Optional Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine to lemon juice, powdered sugar, milk, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth Add more powdered sugar (1 tablespoon at a time) or more milk (1 teaspoon at a time) and continue to whisk until a drizzly consistency is reached. Pour or drizzle over cooled muffins.
Notes
