Delicious, grain free recipe for lemon poppyseed muffins. Low carb, Paleo friendly and suitable for all gut healing diets such as GAPS, AIP and SCD.

I just love lemon poppyseed mini muffins. The lemon flavor, the light fluffiness of the flour, and the gentle crunch of the poppy seeds as you chew makes for a delightfully sweet treat!

This recipe is a recreation of commercial lemon poppyseed muffins, except this one is made with either store-bought or homemade coconut flour. I use a fruit sweetener, but you can also substitute a different one if you prefer. Note that changing the sweetener I’ve suggested in the recipe may make the muffins not legal on some diets.

These bite sized yummies are indescribably good and fast to make too!

The poppyseeds do not need to be soaked as there are too few used per muffin for anti-nutrients to be of concern.

The lemon juice cuts the slight coconut flavor so you really don’t taste it at all. Not that I mind the coconut flavor, but it’s nice to be able to mask it if you want to.

This grain-free recipe is low carb, Paleo-friendly and suitable for gut healing diets such as GAPS, Autoimmune Paleo and SCD.

You simply must try them as they are so very easy to make.

TIP: Having trouble finding a mini muffin pan that is stainless steel? You can use aluminum muffin pans safely! Just be sure to line the pan with unbleached mini muffin paper cups so the batter never touches the aluminum.

If you enjoy baking grain free, here are some other recipes to try:

  • Paleo bread
  • low carb fried chicken
  • coconut flour pizza crust
  • Grain free pizza crust made with almond flour
  • Paleo blueberry muffins
  • Grain free banana muffins
