Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Grease nine muffin cups or line with cupcake wrappers and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together all but 2 teaspoons of almond flour, coconut flour, salt, poppy seeds, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon zest. 
  • Add the flour to the egg mixture and mix to combine.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
  • Combine the cane sugar with the remaining almond flour and sprinkle over the top of the muffins.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The tops should be springy yet firm when they're ready. 
  • Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the muffin pan.

Notes

The sprinkle of natural cane sugar on the top helps keep the muffin moist and also gives a nice crunch of sugar.
