Description

These Healthy Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are the perfect lemon poppy seed muffins—light, zesty, and made with wholesome ingredients. I used a blend of white whole wheat and oat flour for a fluffy texture, and sweetened them naturally with honey and unsweetened applesauce.

The combination of Greek yogurt and olive oil keeps them incredibly moist, while a triple-hit of lemon zest and juice gives them a bright, fresh flavor. They’re a simple, nutrient-dense option that’s great for a quick breakfast or a light snack.

  4. Pour the the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined (don’t over mix here!).
