Traditional muffins made with flour, sugar, and fruit obviously contain too many carbs to be keto. But, if you substitute a nut flour for the all-purpose flour (or make it even easier and use a ready-to-go keto muffin mix), use a keto sweetener, and a fruit that’s low in carbs but big in flavor, you have a keto-friendly muffin that's a moist, tender handheld breakfast or snack.

Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 12 muffins 

Ingredients

• 2 cups Birch Benders Keto Pancake & Waffle Mix
• ¼ cup Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil
• ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons water
• ½ cup poppy seeds
• ¼ cup monk fruit
• 2-3 drops lemon essential oil 
• 1 lemon, zested

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.  In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well to combine.

• Either spray a muffin tin with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Spray, or line with paper cups. Spoon an equal amount of mixture into each muffin tin slot (leave about ¼ inch from the batter to the top of the circle of each muffin slot). 
• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove tin from the oven and allow muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before removing.
