Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups almond flour

¼ cup coconut flour

½ cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)

¼ cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

Zest of 2 lemons

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a standard muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or generously greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly blend the dry ingredients until they are well mixed and free of lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, crack in the three large eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

        Combine Mixtures: Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredient mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being cautious not to overmix. The batter should have a thick yet pourable consistency.

          Add Poppy Seeds: Gently incorporate the poppy seeds into the muffin batter, folding them in lightly so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Use a scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup in the prepared tin, ensuring that each cavity is filled about ¾ full to allow for rising during baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean and the tops should be a lovely golden brown.

                Cool Down: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing air to circulate around them.

                  Serve and Enjoy: These zesty muffins are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Indulge in this delicious low-carb treat that is sure to brighten your day with every bite!
