...enter these delicious lemon poppy-seed muffins!

Aside from being high in protein, sugar-free, and healthy, these muffins are light, moist, and bursting with just the right amount of lemon flavor and sweetness.

I love the nutritional stats on these! 95 calories, 5.4 grams of protein, and only 11 grams of carbohydrates (low carb is considered to between 1-10 grams, so these just missed the mark!). My husband and I seriously ate all but one of these after I made them. They are that good!

FAQs

Can I use an egg replacer?

Chia eggs work great in this recipe, so I imagine flax eggs would work as well.

Can this recipe be made vegan?

You can use coconut milk yogurt and a chia egg to make them vegan-friendly.

    Can I use a different flour besides almond? I don't have any and want to make these ASAP! What do you recommend as a substitute?

    • Lauren

      Hi Kim, Anna also suggested that coconut flour would work!

    Can you make this vegan?

    • Lauren

      Hi Chris, you could try using an alternative yogurt and a flax, chia, or psyllium egg? I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for the results. They might turn out a bit mushier leading to a longer baking time.
