Lemon Poppyseed Muffins and MIGRAINES | Maria's Nutritious and Delicious Journal





Let's try this recipe filled with eggs for serotonin and blood sugar balancing coconut flour!

MUFFINS:
1/2 cup coconut flour ( I also added a good TBSP almond flour

2 TBS psyllium husk
1/4 tsp himalayan salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
6 eggs
2 TBS xylitol
1 tsp vanilla or lemon oil
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
1/4 cup poppyseeds
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 TBS grated lemon zest ( I also added 1 tsp lemon zest powder)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180C ). In a medium sized bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until very smooth. Grease a muffin pan and fill about 2/3 of the way full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins.

LEMON GLAZE
1 TBS xylitol
1/2 cup cream cheese (or coconut cream if dairy allergy)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt

For the glaze, blend all ingredients until smooth. Drizzle on top of muffins.
