Lemon Poppyseed Almond Flour Muffins

I had been craving lemon poppy seed muffins lately and when I received some lemons from my dad I decided it was a good time to make them. I wanted to make them a little bit on the healthier side by using almond flour and honey to avoid any refined ingredients. A lot of the muffins I've made with almond flour in the past have been heavy with the exception of a couple of the recipes I've got on the site. So I really wanted to make sure these would be light and fluffy. They turned out fantastic they had a nice texture and I hope if you make them you enjoy them too.

Makes 12 muffins
Ingredients:
3 Eggs
1/3 C Soft Butter
1/2 C Warm Honey
Zest of one Lemon
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 C Lemon Juice
2 1/2 C Almond Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tbs Poppy Seeds
1/4 tsp Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease a 12 cup muffin tin. 
In a large bowl mixed together eggs, soft butter, and honey. Add in the zest of one lemon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until thoroughly combined. Next add in almond flour, baking powder,poppy seeds, and salt.
Divide batter evenly into muffin tin. The cups should be pretty full.
Bake 400 for 5 min then lower oven temperature to 325 for 12-14 minutes.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then cool on a wire rack.

Spiderman Burger Buns

My kids want to try the Spider-Man Whopper from Burger King but our Burger King was always sold out of buns so we decided to make our own. We actually like ours a little better. Give him a try and let us know what you think. Ingredients: 1 C Water 1 Tbs Yeast  1/4 C Sugar 3 1/2 C Flour 1 1/4 tsp Salt 1/4 C Beet Powder 1 Egg 2 Tbs melted butter 1/2 tsp of Activated Charcoal mixed with a few drops of water for painting buns. In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer combine 1 cup of water and a tablespoon of yeast. Let sit while you gather the rest of your ingredients so the yeast can get activated. Add a quarter cup of sugar to the yeast mixture. Then add in flour, salt, and beet powder. Start to mix those together then add one egg and two tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined and the dough forms a ball that is tacky. Cover dough and let rest an hour to an hour and a half until doubled in size. When the dough has doubled in size remove from bowl and re

Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger Cake Makeover

My grandmother made Harvey Wallbanger cake at every family function for as long as I can remember. Birthdays, holiday parties, anytime we'd all get together this cake would be at the center of the table, but after grandma passed away and I became more conscientious of the ingredients that we were eating I stopped making the cake. It her version was made with yellow cake mix vanilla pudding mix which both contained artificial colors and flavors and oftentimes palm oil which I'm allergic to. For a few years I've been trying to find a recipe that matched what I remembered from Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger cake but was unable to find it from scratch recipe that really seemed to hit the mark. Finally I've come up with a recipe that matches the taste and texture of my grandma's Harvey Wallbanger recipe but without any of the artificial ingredients that they put in cake mixes and putting mixes now. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:  1 3/4 C Sugar 3/4 tsp Sal

Vintage Whipping Cream Cake

My friend Maia sent me a text asking if I had tried this Vintage Whipping Cream Cake that was taking the internet by storm. I think either the headline was a bit misleading or I'm even more disconnected than I thought.  This cake should however be showing up in kitchens and gatherings all over this summer. It's delicious! The biggest surprise for me was the super crunchy, sugary crust that forms all over the exterior from baking the cake slowly and starting out in a cold oven.  Ingredients 1 C Butter, softened 3 C Sugar 6 Eggs 3 C Flour 1 C Whipping Cream 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/2 tsp Almond Extract Leave butter to soften at room temperature. Pull eggs and whipping cream out about half an hour before you plan to assemble the cake so they can come to room temperature for best results.  In a large mixing bowl add butter and sugar, cream well. Next add eggs one at a time, beating after each egg. Pour extracts into whipping cream then add flour and whipp
