These gluten free lemon muffins are soft, flavorful, and incredibly delicious! They’ll make your whole house smell amazing with fresh lemon zest.
Just throw all of the ingredients into your food processor until well combined. There’s the batter.
I used chia seeds to take on the look of traditional lemon-poppy seed muffins so that they have extra fiber and plant-based omega 3s.
Bake the lemon muffins for ~20-minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and then dive right in.
Grab a muffin as an on-the-go breakfast idea, or enjoy one as a slightly sweet treat after a meal.
