Ingredients

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

  • 6 tablespoons butter flavored coconut oil melted, or butter if not dairy-free
  • 6 eggs
  • 6-9 tablespoons granulated monk fruit if you like sweeter, add 9
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 3 tablespoons poppyseeds

Raspberry Jam

  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 teaspoon glucomann powder
  • pinch of salt
  • generous pinch of monk fruit or liquid sweetener to taste
  • splash of vanilla extract
  • lemon juice to taste optional
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened, or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy-free

Instructions

  • Prepare the jam, if you will be adding it. Combine berries and glucomann in a glass bowl and stir to distribute evenly.
  • Cover the bowl with a plate and microwave for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, stir and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each one until desired consistency is reached.
  • Stir in lemon and vanilla and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • Melt oil then stir in monk fruit and egg with a fork until well mixed. Add salt, vanilla, coconut flour, and baking powder and stir well to combine, letting the mixture sit for a minute or two to hydrate.
  • Pour batter into each of the 12 cups, half way full. Divide the jam and cream cheese evenly between the batter, using a spoon to press them into the tips of the muffins. Bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
