Healthy Gluten-free Lemon & Poppyseed Muffins

These healthy lemon and poppyseed muffins are a delicious treat, with the perfect balance of lemon and poppy seeds!

When creating this recipe I was looking to use up the lemons from my tree, and thought it would be a great idea to make muffins. However, they have more of a dense texture, like a friand. They have been taste tested by my family and are a winner! Sweetened with local honey, they would also be delicious as a dessert muffin served with a dollop of cream (or coconut yoghurt), alongside a cup of tea!
