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.

Sourdough Discard Chocolate Cake

I've made sourdough bread for years but recently started branching out and trying different things with my discard. I had made apple cheddar muffins with sourdough discard probably about 15 years ago, sourdough waffles like the ones I had tried in Las Vegas, but never really added it to anything else outside of bread products.  I tried Chocolate Chip Cookies a while back with good results so it seemed natural to try a chocolate cake recipe. I tend to make my baked goods less sweet so I adapted a recipe I found to suit our tastes and topped it with a lightly sweetened peanut butter drizzle. This cake was moist and perfectly sweet. Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup oil 1/2 cup sourdough discard 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup milk of choice 1/2 cup hot, fresh and strong brewed coffee Preheat oven to 350° and grease a bundt pan, set aside. In a large ...
