Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup allulose
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with liners.

  2. 2

    Rub the lemon zest into the allulose with your fingertips for about a minute, until the mixture looks damp and fragrant — this releases the citrus oils directly into the sugar, giving a far more concentrated lemon flavor than zest simply stirred into the batter separately.

  3. 3

    Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt together.

  4. 4

    Whisk eggs, lemon-scented allulose, lemon juice, almond milk, and avocado oil together, then fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

  5. 5

    Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
