- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy milk)

- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
Ingredient Breakdown
Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
Creates a soft and fluffy base while keeping the muffins gluten-free.
Almond Flour
Adds moisture and a slight nutty flavor to balance the tartness of the lemon.
Poppy Seeds
Provide a delightful crunch and classic lemon-poppy seed pairing.
Flax Egg
A plant-based egg substitute made with ground flaxseed and water for binding.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
Step 2: Make the Flax Egg
- In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
Step 5: Make the Batter
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Storage Tip: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
