Equipment

Muffin tin
Paper liners or non-stick cooking spray
Two mixing bowls
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Cooling rack

Ingredients

2 cups Almond flour (224g)
¾ cup Granulated erythritol (144g)
2 tsp Baking powder (9.6g)
¼ tsp Salt (1.5g)
2 tbsp Poppy seeds (18g)
3 Eggs large
⅓ cup Unsalted butter, melted (76g)
¼ cup Unsweetened almond milk (60ml)
¼ cup Fresh lemon juice (60ml)
Lemon zest from 2 lemons
1 tsp Vanilla extract (5ml)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the poppy seeds and set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become slightly frothy. Then mix in the melted butter, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If you're not on a strict keto diet, you can substitute the granulated erythritol with an equal amount of your preferred sweetener. You can also add a glaze by mixing powdered erythritol with a bit of lemon juice for an extra lemony kick. Make sure to store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
