Lemon Poppyseed Muffins (GF Option)

Summer Muffin Love!

Summer is here and that means it is everything Lemon… and these Lemon Poppyseed Muffins SCREAM Summer!  They are tender, busting with lemon goodness and drizzled with a sweet glaze making each bite extra yummy.

Hello Crumb Topping!

Any good muffin in my world has a crumb topping and these muffins are no different.  I added in extra poppyseeds and lemon to make this crumb topping that much better.  

I know some peeps are not into poppyseeds… you can leave them out all together or just out the crumb topping.  I love the extra bit of texture they add, and I also love the bit of color as well.

Gluten or Not… So Good!

For my Gluten Free peeps I just replaced the regular flour with this 1:1 Gluten Free Flour and the results were AMAZING!  Literally no-one knew they were gluten free.  Sometimes gluten free can mean dry, but not these muffins.  

When choosing a GF Flour I prefer ones that already have xanthum gum added to it so I don’t have to worry about it.  Also I like a 1:1 flour option … I am not that good at math so if I can keep conversions out of the kitchen I am always down for that.  

If Bob’s Red Mill is not your favorite use whatever brand you prefer… there are so many good options out there these days.

1/2 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
2 eggs

1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Lemon Glaze (optional)
1/2 cup powder sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375
Place 12 liners in alternating wells of 2 muffin tins, set aside
In a large bowl combine together flour, lemon zest, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt
In medium bowl whisk together maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract until well combined
Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir until just combined
Fill each muffin tin 3/4 of the way full
In a small bowl combine all the crumb topping ingredients until it resembles course sand
Evenly sprinkle over each muffin
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and they just cooked through
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes
While muffins are cooling in a small bowl whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth
Once muffins have cooled a bit drizzle over each muffin - I like to use a fork to help prevent clumps of glaze
ENJOY!!
