Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

Refined sugar free, high antioxidant, heart-healthy, flourless, dairy-free
I am a real fan of lemons in baking. Here is one of my favorite recipes for a classic lemon poppy seed muffins enhanced by turmeric. The nutty notes of poppy seed make a perfect complement to the bright lemon flavor. With almond flour as the main flour, these tasty treats are light and fluffy – and of course gluten-free. The eggs from my happy chickens give these muffins the perfect rise and lots of healthy protein. And who can resist the bright yellow from the turmeric?
