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.

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...

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

We had a big box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I wanted to use for a Rice Krispies treats type of dessert but hadn't gotten to it yet. The only acceptable way to eat cereal in my opinion is straight out of the box. But the others in my house like milk and cereal so I wanted to develop a cupcake with a frosting tasted like the milk, and cake that tasted like the cereal with bits of the cereal on top. I got good feedback while testing this recipe. It's overall not crazy sweet so it could be considered an acceptable breakfast. The cake itself is very dense but the frosting is very light and buttery. Makes 16 Cake: 2 c. All-purpose Flour 1/3 c. Granulated Sugar 1/2 C Brown Sugar 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 2 tsp. ground Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Salt 3/4 c. (1 1/2 stick) softened Butter 1 c. Milk 1 large Egg 2 tsp. Vanilla extract Frosting: 1/2 C Nonfat Milk powder 1 1/2 sticks of Butter, softened 1 C Powdered Sugar 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract (don't over measure or it will tast...
